“They've already agreed they're not going to have a nuclear weapon,” Trump claimed during an interview on Pod Force One that premiered Wednesday morning.
In the interview recorded at the White House late Tuesday, Trump also remarked on Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who hasn’t been seen in public since he succeeded his father early in the Iran war and is reported to have sustained injuries himself in the initial U.S.-Israeli strikes.
Trump said he didn’t know about the Supreme Leader’s condition as he hasn’t had the "privilege" of meeting him, but expressed hope that a meeting could happen in the future.
Khamenei has previously vowed to protect Tehran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities, and Iranian officials have yet to officially announce a willingness to abandon them.
Aside from the peace deal talks, Trump expressed satisfaction with how the U.S. conducted its operations during the war.
“We don't need boots on the ground now,” claimed the U.S. President during his podcast sit-down. “We wiped out much of their [Iran’s] military with just bombing. We didn’t put anybody in the ground.”
He insisted the talks are ongoing despite the renewed exchange of fire and warned Tehran that it was time, “one way or another,” to make a deal.
As part of the ongoing U.S. blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had disabled an oil tanker in the crucial passage that was attempting to sail toward an Iranian port.
The U.S. military also said it “conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East.”
UAE calls for unified Gulf response as Iranian strikes target Kuwait and Bahrain
An Iranian drone and missile attack damaged a terminal building of Kuwait’s International Airport, resulting in one death and dozens of injuries, local authorities reported.
The ministry reaffirmed the State of Kuwait's “categorical rejection of Iran's overt aggressive attacks, which lead to increased escalation, heightened tension, and undermine the security and stability of the region,” and accused Iran of violating the rules of international law.
Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense Colonel Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi said the country’s air defenses had intercepted other hostile missile and drone attacks within its airspace.
The General Command of the Bahrain Defense Force said it had successfully intercepted and destroyed “three missiles and several drones.”
Mohsen Rezaee, a top adviser to Khamenei, also warned that Tehran will not allow “America to overreach,” despite the cease-fire that’s currently in place.
Amid renewed instability in the region, the United Arab Emirates signaled growing concern and urged for Gulf nations to present a united front.
The Gulf Cooperation Council also condemned attacks on Gulf nations.
Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun “affirmed his solidarity with Kuwait and Bahrain, calling for the region to be spared the consequences of these attacks to reduce escalation.”
