Trump Says He Doesn't Want to Rush on Iran, Military Options Remain

On April 24, local time, U.S. President Trump stated that as negotiations with Iran continue to progress, he “doesn’t want to rush into anything,” emphasizing that the Iranian leadership is currently in a state of “turmoil.” In an interview at the White House, he mentioned that although the conflict has exceeded the previously set four to six-week timeline, the U.S. has made decisive progress through military means in the first four weeks. He also indicated that they are currently waiting for the results of an agreement, stating, “If the other side is unwilling to reach an agreement, we will proceed with military action.” Trump revealed that the U.S. has struck approximately 75% of its targets in Iran and noted that Iran may have redeployed its military forces during the two-week ceasefire period. He also pointed out that due to the blockade, Iran is struggling to conduct normal business activities and is currently “in turmoil.” (CCTV)
