Trump: Talks with Iran continue, we will not allow nuclear weapons
Washington, Aug. 3 (Hibya) - U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that there is a contradiction between the Iranian leadership's public statements and the ongoing contacts with Tehran. Trump said Iran had requested talks and that negotiations are continuing, stressing that the country will not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.
In his statement, Trump described the Iranian leadership as "incredibly hypocritical," saying, "They are asking for a meeting — some might even say they are begging. Talks have begun, and new meetings are planned in the near future. Yet they openly and proudly claim that no talks have taken place and that they have only been in contact with Oman."
Trump also commented on Iran's statements regarding the Strait of Hormuz, saying, "They claim they are firmly in control of the Strait of Hormuz. In reality, the strait is currently under the complete control of the U.S. Navy."
Stressing that pressure on Iran continues, Trump said, "Nothing can reach Iran unless we want it to. And nothing will reach them until an agreement is reached or there is complete surrender."
Trump said they are discussing a solution with Iran and concluded his remarks by stating, "The problem we are trying to solve is one that Iran has created over decades. It is very simple: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon."
