Major news on the US-Iran war
Central News
(Washington, CNA Comprehensive Foreign Report, 5th) U.S. President Donald Trump today called on Iran to make a 'wise decision' and reach an agreement to end this war. He stated that even if the ceasefire agreement is faltering, he does not wish for more Iranian lives to be lost, and that Tehran wants to sign an end-of-war agreement.
According to an Agence France-Presse report, Trump (Donald Trump) said in response to reporters' questions in the Oval Office of the White House: 'They should make a wise decision, because we don't want to send troops to kill people. We really don't. I don't want to do that, it's too cruel.'
As Tehran recently launched missiles and dispatched drones to attack US forces and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), reporters asked what actions by Iran would constitute a formal violation of the nearly month-long US-Iran ceasefire. Trump declined to respond.
He pointed out: 'You will know soon enough. They (referring to Iran) know what to do; more importantly, they know what not to do.'
Trump also accused Iran of 'playing games' with the end-of-war agreement. He reiterated that this agreement must ensure that Tehran cannot develop nuclear weapons. 'What I dislike about Iran is that they are polite when they talk to me, but then they turn around and say on TV: 'We have not spoken to the President (of the United States).''
Trump said, 'So they are playing games, but I tell you, they want to sign an agreement, who wouldn't? When your military power no longer exists, we can do whatever we want.'
Trump also disparaged Iran's military capabilities, saying that Tehran 'should wave a white flag of surrender,' but cannot do so due to pride.
He told reporters that Iran's military power has been weakened to the point where they can only brandish 'toy guns,' and that while Tehran publicly threatens with force, they actually want to sign an agreement privately.
Trump also highly praised the US military's actions in blocking Iranian ports in the Middle East, saying, 'It's as impenetrable as a copper wall; no one dares to challenge this blockade. I think the effect is very good.'
He emphasized that Iran 'should keep the white flag that represents surrender. If this were a battle, they would have stopped long ago.' (Compiler: Hong Qi-yuan) 1150506
