"I saved him from a very ugly and humiliating death and he doesn't have to say: thank you, President Trump," declared the occupant of the White House, reiterating that he knows his whereabouts and avoided an attack by US or Israeli forces, and reproached Khamenei in particular for saying that Iran had "won the war" when "he knows it's a lie". "A man who is so religious is not supposed to lie," he added.
In his message on the social network Truth Social, Trump attributed to US military actions the destruction of Iran's main nuclear facilities, pointing out that Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow were “destroyed” by the bombings. He detailed that in “a final act”, he demanded that Israel bring back a large number of military aircraft that, according to Trump, were heading towards Tehran to carry out “perhaps the coup de grace”. According to his own words, this attack would have been "the largest of the war" and would have caused "enormous damage" with the death of "many Iranians." The American president warned that the decision to prevent the attacks avoided a greater number of casualties, although he assured that Iran "was decimated" and its army "brutally defeated." Trump accused the Iranian regime of hostility and of keeping the country in a prolonged crisis situation.The US president emphasized that he was considering a possible lifting of economic sanctions against Iran, but said he stopped all work related to this measure “with immediate effect”, in response to Khamenei's statement, which he described as full of “anger, hatred and disgust”. He insisted that an eventual withdrawal of sanctions would have helped Iran in its recovery after the conflict, although he dismissed that option and recommended that the leadership of that country reconsider its attitude.
In a press conference from the White House, when asked about the possibility of launching new air strikes if Iran reactivated its nuclear program, Trump responded that he would consider that option "without a doubt." "Absolutely," he added when asked about the continuation of military operations.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, denied this Wednesday the possible resumption of talks with the United States, in response to Trump's statement about an eventual dialogue within the framework of NATO in The Hague. Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, recently expressed the hope of reaching "a comprehensive peace agreement," although the climate between the two countries remains tense and a fragile ceasefire is maintained between Israel and Iran. Trump warned Iranian authorities about the consequences of continuing their "nuclear ambitions", urging Iran to "return to the world order" to avoid further confrontations and a stalemate. "They are always so angry, hostile, and unhappy... They have no hope, and the situation will only get worse!", sentenced the American president.
