Trump: Iran wants a deal but cannot be trusted
Trump says Iran wants a nuclear deal but cannot be trusted, warns remaining sites could be struck within minutes, and refuses to rule out renewed military action.
President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that the United States has largely neutralized Iran's military capabilities, but still intends to address one or two specific targets, such as a suspected nuclear facility referred to as "Pickaxe Mountain." The president expressed optimism about ongoing negotiations aimed at ending the conflict that began between the US and Israel at the end of February, although he acknowledged that Iran may not be entirely trustworthy.
Trump emphasized that the US is not eager to initiate offensive actions, given that it has extensively damaged Iran's military and nuclear programs. At his Florida residence, Trump stated that eliminating these sites could be accomplished swiftly, possibly in just 10 minutes. The Iranian government refuted claims of nuclear activities at the location.
The recent talks have brought about a surprising change in the diplomatic climate, leading to cautious optimism about averting another round of war.
