US President Trump said in a social media platform today, “Iran's leadership is extremely hesitant. They are pleading — some say they are 'begging' for talks, and negotiations have already begun and a follow-up agenda has been set, yet they blatantly claim that they are not talking at all, nothing is being discussed; they are only dealing with Oman.” Trump also accused Iran of “repeating the old rhetoric, saying that the Strait of Hormuz will be strongly controlled by them — but in fact, it is already fully controlled by the US Navy, under our blockade, or US 'steel barrier'. Don't want anything to be shipped in or out of Iran unless we agree, until a deal is reached or they completely surrender. Whether Iran admits it or not, what we are discussing to resolve is a scourge they have single-handedly created for decades. The reason is simple: Iran will never have nuclear weapons!”
