WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump expressed strong confidence on Tuesday that Iran will completely stop enriching uranium and give up its nuclear weapon ambitions. He made the remarks while speaking to reporters before departing the White House.
Firm stance on nuclear issue
Trump told journalists he feels โ100 per centโ certain about the outcome. โTheyโre going to stop,โ he declared when asked directly about Iranโs uranium enrichment activities. He stressed that the United States wants only a good deal with Tehran and remains determined to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Moreover, Trump praised Pakistanโs active role in regional diplomacy. He specifically commended Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for their efforts. โThe field marshal and the prime minister of Pakistan have been absolutely great,โ Trump said warmly. He added that Pakistan has provided valuable support during the current tensions.
Claims of weakened Iran
Trump further claimed that the United States has effectively dismantled Iranโs military capabilities. He described the American blockade as โ100 per cent effectiveโ and stated that Washington has ended everything related to Iranโs war machine. The president insisted that America will win whether the matter resolves peacefully or through other means.
Additionally, Trump mentioned he does not require Chinaโs assistance on this issue but plans to discuss Iran during his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. He described Xi as โrelatively goodโ in this context.
This latest statement comes amid ongoing international efforts to manage the Iran crisis. Many observers watch closely to see how Tehran responds to the pressure. Trumpโs remarks highlight Washingtonโs continued focus on non-proliferation while appreciating support from key allies like Pakistan.
