Asked if he would be willing to talk to Iranthe president responded: “It is possible”.
“It depends on what terms. Possible, only possible… There is no need to talk more, if you think about it, but it is possible”he added.
Trump also expressed his surprise at Iran’s attacks on the Gulf countries in response to the joint military operation between USA and Israelwhich has already hit more than 5,000 targets in the Iranian nation since its inception on February 28, according to the Pentagon.
“The early result far exceeded expectations.“Trump assured Fox News.”When we attacked them first, we disabled 50% of their missiles and if we hadn’t, it would have been a much tougher fight.”he added.
The American president reiterated his discontent with the election of Mojtaba Khameneithe son of the deceased Ali Khameneias the new Iranian supreme leader following the death of his father in the initial attacks of the war.
“I don’t think I can live in peace“, he said about the 56-year-old religious man, who is hard-line and seen as a challenge to Washington in the midst of the offensive that seeks to behead the Ayatollahs’ Government.
Faced with internal criticism – even within those close to the president – about the intervention in Iran and the political cost for the Republican Party, Trump insisted on the need for the operation due to the imminent attack by Tehran.
He assured that his special envoys, Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushnerhe was told that Iran claimed it had enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear bombs.
“If they had a bomb, they would have used it against Israel and other parts of the Middle East”Trump concluded.
