US President Donald Trump once again stated that Iran seeks to negotiate an end to the war, but his government has not yet found “good conditions” for an agreement.
According to the White House leader, Washington assesses that “the terms are not yet good enough” to accept negotiations with the country targeted by American and Israeli military operations. He avoided detailing what the conditions would be for hearing the other side, but said any nuclear ambitions would be part of the agreement.
The president said during the conversation that he is working with other countries on a plan to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz amid rising global oil prices.
The statements, given in an interview with the broadcaster NBC released on Saturday night (14), come amid a new exchange of attacks by the Islamic regime against targets in neighboring countries and Israel against Tehran.
Israel announced this Sunday (15) the start of a new wave of air strikes against Iran, this time targeting targets in the west of the country. Israel has carried out more than 400 waves of airstrikes on Iran since the start of its joint military operation with the US on February 28.
In turn, Gulf countries such as Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia reported having intercepted several new attacks launched from Iran overnight from Saturday to Sunday, marking the beginning of the 16th day of conflict in the Middle East.
Attacks on Kharg and Iran’s reaction to the war
President Donald Trump also commented on the recent American attacks on Kharg Island. According to him, the operation destroyed most of the island, but there are still points that he decided not to attack that could become legitimate targets.
Trump also said he was “surprised” by Iran’s decision to attack neighboring countries in the Middle East in response to the US-Israel operation.
