US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that there is a “very good chance” of reaching a deal with Iran.
“There seems to be a very good chance that they can work something out. If we can do that without bombing the hell out of might be very happy,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
The US leader noted that recent military operations have significantly degraded Iran’s air force and naval capabilities.
“We can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon, so we did that, and when we did that, we were met with a little force, and we ended up destroying them,” he pointed out.
He asserted that these measures have effectively hindered Iran’s ability to reconstitute its military power, rendering the prospect of a nuclear weapons program a long-term challenge rather than an immediate threat.
He emphasized the US maritime blockade on Iran has successfully halted unauthorized naval traffic.
“We now have a tremendous, we built really a steel wall where no boats are blockade, where no boats are able to, not one boat has been able to get through our blockade,” President Trump said.
