Despite the signing of the agreement between America and Iran, the tension between the two countries does not seem to have ended completely. US President Donald Trump has once again launched a scathing attack on Iran, claiming that Iran’s military strength is almost exhausted after the war. Trump clearly said that America will not provide any kind of economic relief to Iran and it will not get even a penny from America.
Donald Trump rejected the criticism of his political opponents by making several consecutive posts on social media. He said that Iran’s military capabilities have suffered huge damage after the recent conflict.
According to Trump, Iran now has neither an effective air force, nor a navy, nor an adequate anti-aircraft system or radar. He said that the war has completely weakened Iran and its military power has become much less than before.
The US President also targeted opposition Democrat leaders on this issue. He said some Democrats are claiming that Iran is in a better situation than it was four months ago. Trump taunted, “Yet the Democrats say Iran is in a better place now than it was four months ago. Can you imagine that? How stupid some people can be?”
Trump also claimed that the initiative for talks after the conflict was not taken by America but by Iran. He said that America was not desperate for any agreement, but Iran wanted talks. “We were not desperate, Iran was. They are finished,” he said.
Trump reiterated that America is not in favor of providing any kind of financial relief to Iran. He said that Iran will neither receive any economic aid nor be given any kind of financial benefit. “They won’t get a dime or ten cents,” Trump said.
Trump’s statement came a day after Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s comments. Khamenei rejected Trump’s claims and said that America and Trump were more eager for the agreement. He alleged that the US President was “desperate” to get a deal done and used all kinds of political efforts and tactics to achieve it.
In his first public statement after the signing of the US-Iran agreement, Khamenei said that he had initially opposed the agreement on principle. However, later President Massoud Pezeshkian and members of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council assured him that the interests of the country and the “Resistance Front” would be protected through this agreement. After this he approved the agreement.
