Trump Warns Iran Could Lose Its Nationhood If It Doesn't Abandon Nuclear Ambitions

Washington D.C. -- US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that it could lose its very nationhood if it does not abandon its nuclear weapons. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump stated that Iran is currently completely devastated and has no alternative but to abandon its nuclear ambitions.

He expressed confidence that Iranian leaders would renounce nuclear weapons and comply with all conditions desired by the United States. Trump stated that if they do not comply, Iran would cease to exist as a country, and its map could be erased. He mentioned that the path for Iran to become a good country again would only open after it hands over nuclear material to the US.

Speaking about the deal with Iran, Trump signaled that positive results could emerge very quickly. He claimed that a change in regime had occurred in Iran and that the US was currently negotiating with a completely new group, not the old one.

According to Trump, the people from Iran's old ruling structure have been killed or eliminated, and the current new representatives appear much more sensible than the previous ones. He claimed that Mojtaba Khamenei might still be alive, but he was seriously injured. Trump informed that negotiations with Iran are ongoing through both direct and indirect channels, and the Iranian side has already agreed to many points.

Discussing military strategy, Trump stated that the US has many more powerful options than deploying ground troops in Iran. He claimed that military action against Iran was much further ahead than the scheduled timeline.

Trump also revealed that Iran had agreed, as a gesture of respect during negotiations with the US, to allow 20 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that Iran has already agreed to most points of the 15-point plan put forward by the US, calling it a major success for the negotiations.

Trump further informed that bombing of various Iranian military targets continues even while negotiations are underway. He said, "We negotiate with them, and if necessary, we drop bombs."

He claimed that Iran is now ready to give things it had long withheld, asserting that the negotiation process is moving forward very well. While expressing strong confidence that a deal would be reached with Iran, he did not rule out the possibility of anything happening in the end.

Regarding the current state of Iran, Trump clarified that the previous regime is no longer in place and that the US is achieving its objectives.
