Speaking to reporters in the White House on Tuesday, Trump claimed that the Iranians “want to meet desperately to try and end [the war] because they’re getting decimated”, adding that “until they’re ready to meet in a meaningful way, we have no interest”. He said that the US military is “degrading” Iran’s military capabilities “at levels that nobody thought was possible”, but admitted that Iran “did slip something through in Jordan” after an Iranian strike on the country killed two US service members. Trump also claimed that if the US strikes hadn’t knocked out Iran’s nuclear sites last year, Iran “would have a nuclear weapon, and you wouldn’t have Israel”.
