WASHINGTON, D.C. : U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that Iran possesses only 21 to 22 percent of its original missile stockpile and will ultimately have no choice but to negotiate a deal, adding that Tehran will be forced to take steps it never imagined.
In an interview with NBC News, President Trump acknowledged that resolving a conflict takes time and that results are not immediate. He reiterated that Iran did not agree to a ceasefire deal, claiming the country is “powerful and jealous.” He also suggested that if he were a Democrat, no one would question how long it takes to win a war.
Earlier, Trump told reporters that his administration is achieving great success on the Iran issue. He firmly stated that Iran will not possess nuclear weapons, asserting that the country is not in a position to develop them.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump noted that many oil tankers have successfully passed through the strategic waterway, though he declined to provide specific numbers. He expressed confidence that the Strait of Hormuz crisis would not take much time to resolve, predicting that oil prices will drop after the situation returns to normal. Trump added that prices may decrease even more than before.
