On September 1, local time, US President Trump said that he was not trying to force Iran to return to the negotiation table as reported by the US media, and stated that he did not care whether Iran signed a “worthless agreement.” Trump said he is more satisfied with the current situation in the US and claims that the US has “almost complete control” of the Strait of Hormuz — this is slightly different from his previous statement of “complete control of the Strait of Hormuz,” and that Iran's economy is “completely collapsing.” Trump said Iran was only delaying the “inevitable end.”
