US President Donald Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office on Monday about the ongoing negotiations with Iran, at an event marking the launch of Trump Accounts, saying, "We're going to make a deal, or we're going to finish the job." The president said, "We freed up the blockade because we're close to maybe making a deal - I don't know, look - we're going to win one way or the other."
He then went on to say, "It won't be tough to finish the job. I'd rather make a deal, because I don't want to affect 91 million people. We can knock down their bridges in one hour; we can knock out their energy supply, all of those big plants that they built - big, beautiful, modern plants; they had a lot of money. "They don't have any money now. We haven't given them any money, but we can knock out their electricity and power-generating plants, I would say in the small part of an afternoon. Every plant will be gone, and they know that."
"Oil is now at a level that, I think it's even lower, on a barrel basis, than it was before we started. We’ve gotten concessions, and they have to hold those concessions, but there'll be no nuclear weapon. We’re going to be getting the, as I call it, dust; the enriched material," the president said. "I went in for one reason - very strongly - that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I'm not looking for regime change, although this is regime change. The first regime is gone, the second regime is gone, and I think the third regime is more reasonable, but we'll find out." (Read More)
