Trump Provides Big Update On Iran After Latest Discussion

“A lot of times they’ll say that to me, and then they’ll go out and say we don’t know what he’s talking about,” he observed.

The president declined to impose any artificial deadline on the negotiations but left no doubt about America’s military posture.

“We’re ready to go anytime we want,” he declared.

The decision to cancel the strikes came Saturday night, after what Trump characterized as a framework for a potential peace deal taking shape.

That announcement followed reports that U.S. and Israeli officials had been examining options for targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure.

When asked Sunday whether those energy sites had been part of the planned operation, the president refused to answer.

Tehran, for its part, had already issued stark warnings that any assault on its energy sector would trigger retaliatory strikes against oil and gas facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Israel.

Those threats underscored the high stakes involved and the potential for rapid regional escalation.
