Trump Downplays Iran Peace Talks in Islamabad, Claims US Victory

Washington. As historic peace talks between the United States and Iran are underway in Islamabad, Pakistan, US President Donald Trump has stated that he has little interest in a deal with Iran. Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn, Trump claimed that regardless of the outcome of the talks, the United States will ultimately emerge victorious.

Trump noted that he is receiving constant reports from Islamabad and that the talks have been ongoing for a long time. However, he made it clear that whether or not a deal is reached with Iran makes no difference to him. 

'Whatever happens, we will win,' Trump said, 'We have already completely defeated that country (Iran).' He reiterated his claim that Iran's air force, navy, and leadership have been devastated by US military power.

Mentioning that the US is making efforts to open the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global waterway blocked by Iran, Trump strongly criticized other nations. He stated that the US is taking this risk for countries that are fearful, weak, and greedy. In this context, he also expressed dissatisfaction, stating that NATO has provided no support to the United States.
