WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has once again praised Pakistan’s mediation role in the ongoing Iran negotiations, calling Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir “outstanding leaders” for their efforts in facilitating dialogue.
Speaking to reporters, Trump pointed out that negotiations with Iran will be successful if the conclusion is in favor of U.S. interests. In addition, he emphasized that the army of Iran suffered great losses, and soon there will be a positive outcome.
As for Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the president of the USA said that America was left with no choice to let Iran arm themselves with nuclear weapons or stop them. Trump called those who support Iran’s ambitions unwise, saying that the US will not give anything but a win-win deal.
Donald Trump did not give a deadline for negotiations, adding that any decision made by the parties will meet the interests of Americans and even benefit Iran.
Regarding the economic implications of the developments, Trump believes that after the end of the dispute, there will be a fall in the cost of oil and an improvement in the performance of the stock market.
Addressing the previous President Joe Biden, he commented that the rates of inflation under his tenure had hit record heights, but now they are at low levels.
In reference to China, Trump highlighted that President Xi Jinping is doing comparatively well in handling the Iran dispute and that future US-China talks will also cover Iran and other regional issues.
Concluding, Trump made it clear that the US doesn’t need any external help in dealing with the Iran dispute and that “either Iran will make the right choice or America will do its own thing.”
Trump: Iran has played Games for 47 years, no more chances
Earlier, US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of engaging in decades-long deception and warned that the United States will no longer tolerate its actions.
Speaking on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump alleged that Iran has misled the US and the world for 47 years and recently killed 42,000 innocent protesters.
Trump criticized former President Barack Obama, claiming that his administration was overly accommodating to Tehran, overlooking Israel and other allies, and effectively revitalizing Iran’s power. He asserted that hundreds of billions of dollars including $1.7 billion in cash were delivered to Iran during Obama’s tenure, with funds reportedly transported in suitcases and bags, overwhelming Iranian officials who had never seen such amounts before.
He described Iran as having exploited every opportunity to manipulate global powers. He said, “For 47 years, Iran has deceived us, delayed us, attacked our people with roadside bombs, and suppressed protests. They laughed while committing these atrocities, but that will no longer happen.”
Trump characterized his own administration as stronger and less complacent than previous ones, emphasizing that Iran will face stricter accountability moving forward.
