Trump Declares Iran's Military Routed, Yet Holds Back on an Agreement

According to 5 канал: President Trump made these remarks at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, a traditional event where the US leader often comments on current affairs.

Trump's Speech on Iran

During his speech at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, US President Donald Trump claimed significant victories in the US military campaign against Iran. He stated that Washington has stripped Tehran of its military capabilities, arguing that the Iranian regime's forces have suffered critical losses and that key components of its defense infrastructure have been neutralized.

Trump emphasized the destruction of key enemy branches, noting that Iran now possesses very few drones.

“They have very few drones left, despite what you see,” he said.

He also asserted that Iran no longer has fully operational naval or air forces.

Talks with Iran

Trump also revealed that despite Iran's eagerness to reach an agreement, the time for a full deal has not yet arrived.

“By the way, we are negotiating right now. They would very much like to make a deal, but I don't think they are ready. I believe the time is not yet right,” he commented.

He urged the audience not to trust 'fake news,' emphasizing that contacts between the sides continue and negotiations are ongoing.

Earlier, Trump also stated that the US intends to compensate civilian or commercial ships in the Middle East region using Iranian assets. These statements underscore Washington's activity in security and stability matters in the region, as well as its plans to keep pressure on the Iranian regime.

Trump's remarks reflect the US strategic approach toward Iran: destroying Tehran's military capabilities while maintaining a negotiation process. At the same time, his admission that the moment for a deal is not yet ripe highlights the complexity of the situation and the potential challenges facing the US administration regarding Middle East security. The ongoing talks may prove crucial for determining the future of US-Iran relations and stability in the region.
