Trump on Peace Talk: America President of donald trump Has shown a tough stance regarding the ongoing talks with Iran. He said that after the recent ceasefire talks held in Pakistan, he does not care whether Iran comes for talks again or not.
“I don’t know, I don’t care if they come back or not. If they don’t come back, I’m fine,” Trump said. He also indicated that America feels that it has weakened Iran’s military strength to a great extent.
What did Trump claim about Iran?
Trump claimed that Iran’s defense system has suffered major losses in this conflict. He said, “Their army has been destroyed. Their missiles have been destroyed to a large extent. The ability to make missiles and drones has also become very weak.”
This statement has come at a time when the high level talks between America and Iran in Pakistan ended without any agreement. This has increased uncertainty about the future of the ceasefire ending on April 22.
What did Trump say on the Strait of Hormuz?
Trump also accused Iran of not fulfilling its promises related to the Strait of Hormuz. He said, “We showed a lot of leniency. We did not take any strong action, but they broke their promise. They said they would open Hormuz, but did not do so. They lied.”
What is America planning?
According to the report of the Associated Press, the US Navy is preparing to start a blockade on ships entering and leaving Iranian ports through Hormuz. Its purpose is to reduce Iran’s strategic strength in this conflict.
The US Central Command said that this blockade will apply to those ships going towards or coming from Iranian ports. However, ships traveling between non-Iranian ports will be allowed to pass through this route.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important oil routes, through which about 20 percent of the global oil supply previously passed. Following the announcement of the blockade, crude oil prices immediately rose to above $100 per barrel as fears of supply disruptions increased.
What warning did Iran’s Revolutionary Guard give?
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has warned that if any military ship enters the Strait of Hormuz, it may have to face ‘stern response’. It is clear from this that despite diplomatic efforts, tension still persists. Countries like Pakistan, European Union, Oman and Russia are trying to mediate in this matter.
What does America want?
According to the report, talks stalled over the US wanting Iran to permanently give up the ability to make nuclear weapons, stop uranium enrichment and stop supporting regional armed groups.
What did Donald Trump say on NATO?
Apart from the Iran issue, Trump also expressed his displeasure regarding NATO. He said that NATO did not support America properly during this conflict, whereas America has been spending heavily on this organization for a long time.
Trump said, “I am very disappointed with NATO. They did not support us. We spend trillions of dollars on this, but they were not with us. Now they want to come forward, but there is no major threat now.” He also said that NATO was created mainly for security against Russia, but its expenses are mostly borne by America. He asked for a serious review of this issue.
