Trump. « I tried to exempt them from humility and death »
President Donald Trump said in an interview for Reuters that his administration was completely informed about Israel’s plans to launch Iran.
According to him, he tried to give Tehran a chance to avoid military confrontation through an agreement on the nuclear program.
« I knew everything. I tried to exempt them from humility and death. I really wanted to reach an agreement, » Trump said. The American leader states that he gave Iran a term of 60 days to accept the conditions, and « today is day 61 ».
Trump claims that Israel has targeted nuclear installations, rocket factories and Iranian military commanders in an operation that, according to official Israeli statements, could continue to prevent the development of a nuclear weapon by Iran.
However, the US president avoided confirming if Iran has an active nuclear program. « No one knows. It was a devastating blow, » he commented.
According to the quoted source, negotiations between the US and Iran should continue on Sunday in Oman, through a meeting between American emissary Steve Witkoff and an Iranian delegation, but recent attacks question the discussions.
