Trump: Iranian regime ‘disjointed’, won’t indicate if further strikes are coming
More than two months after the joint U.S., Israel strikes against Iran, President Donald Trump won’t say if he is considering further strikes against the Islamic Republic.
Trump described the Iranian leadership as “disjointed” to reporters outside the White House Friday. He confirmed a reported meeting on Thursday with U.S. Central Command leader Adm. Brad Cooper.
The president said he was presented with options, including plans to “blast the hell” out of Iran, echoing prior threats to target bridges and energy infrastructure in the country.
Iran submitted a proposed deal Friday through Pakistan; however, the president said he is not “satisfied” with the current proposal.
Trump added that he had just spoken with Iran, though it appears the two are still far from reaching a deal the president would be satisfied with.
“I would say that I am not happy… They’ve got to come up with the right deal. At this moment, I’m not satisfied with what they’re offering,” the president told reporters.
Trump maintains that the Iranian leadership wants to make a deal, as their defense industry has been decimated. He indicated negotiations have been challenging as the U.S. doesn’t know who the leaders are.
After one failed in-person meeting with Iranian leaders in Pakistan with Vice President JD Vance, and two canceled trips back to Pakistan, the president told Iranian leaders they may reach out to him directly to make a deal.
As the ceasefire hangs in the balance, the U.S. continues its naval blockade on Iranian ports, which the Trump administration claims is strangling the Iranian regime’s economy as it is unable to sell its oil.
