Trump ‘not happy’ with Iran talks, hasn’t made ‘final decision’ on US strikes
President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he is “not happy” with the way Iran is negotiating.”I’m not happy with the fact that they’re not willing to give us what we have to have. So I’m not thrilled with that. We’ll see what happens, we’re talking later. We’ll have some additional talks today. But, no, I’m not happy with the way they’re going,” Trump said.The president also told reporters that he had yet to make a final decision on striking Iran, something that many have speculated could occur in the near future.When answering a question from Fox News’ Peter Doocy, Trump acknowledged that if the U.S. strikes Iran, there is a possibility of a long-term conflict sparking in the Middle East.”I guess you could say there’s always a risk. You know, when there’s war, there’s a risk in anything both good and bad,” Trump said. The president then spoke about operations against Iran under his first and second terms, such as the assassination of Gen. Qassim Soleimani, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force, and last summer’s Operation Midnight Hammer. He said that “everything’s worked out” so far.This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
