The Hague: Donald Trump, who is attending a key NATO summit in Netherlands, has said that he may have talks with Iran next week and could sign a nuclear deal.
“We may have talks with Iran next week, we may sign a deal with them, I don’t know now but we have destroyed their nuke facilities,” the US President said.
Speaking on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Netherlands on Israel-Iran ceasefire, Donald Trump said, “I think the 12-day war between Iran and Israel is over and there will be no more nuclear threat from Iran.”
“Last weekend, the United States successfully carried out a massive precision strike on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities… This incredible exercise of American strength has paved the way for peace, with a historic ceasefire agreement.”
Comparing US B-2 bombers with Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings during World War 2, Donald Trump said “Somebody said in a certain way, it was so devastating actually, if you look at Hiroshima or if you look at Nagasaki, that ended a war too. This ended a war in a different way.”
US President Donald Trump, while stressing upon the success of B-2 bombers strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, said, “I don’t think nuclear materials were moved.”
When asked, “Is there any indication that Iran was able to move any material?” Donald Trump said, “No, just the opposite. We think we hit them so hard and so fast, it didn’t get to move… it’s very hard and very dangerous to move.”
“We think that we hit Iran’s nuke facilities very hard. They could not take anything. Uranium were kept very very deep under the ground,” Donald Trump said.
When asked to comment on ceasefire violation by Israel and Iran, Donald Trump said that he’s satisfied that the war has stopped because both (Israel and Iran) are exhausted.
“There was some ceasefire violations by Iran while Israel was flying at least 52 planes over Iran. When I told Israel to bring back their pilots, they did so, this was amazing. The war stopped as we badly hit the nuclear facilities of Iran,” the US President added.
On Tuesday, while speaking to reporters, Donald Trump used the cuss words saying both Israel and Iran have been fighting for so long that they don’t know what the ‘FU*K’ they were doing. The US President was addressing the press before leaving for The Hague, Netherlands to attend the NATO Summit.
