elchi reports that US President Donald Trump, in a statement regarding Iran, said, “You have to defeat them, and we are crushing them badly.”
US President Donald Trump claimed that they have largely destroyed Iran’s military potential, stating: “They are currently negotiating to reach an agreement with us. But if we hadn’t taken a tough stance, there would be no negotiations at all.” Claiming that the blockade imposed by the US on Iranian ports is showing its effect, Trump said: “They really want us to lift the blockade. They are saying, ‘We don’t want the blockade anymore.’ They are begging, ‘Please, no more blockade.'” US President Donald Trump touched upon the tensions with Iran in a speech at an event in Michigan. Claiming that they have largely destroyed Iran’s military capabilities, Trump said, “People don’t see it. We destroyed their navy, their air force. We destroyed their leadership. We destroyed their anti-aircraft systems. Their drone production has dropped to about 7 percent. We have destroyed a large part of their drone and missile production potential.” Noting that Iran is in contact with the US, Trump said, “They are currently talking to reach an agreement with us. But if we hadn’t taken a tough stance, there would be no negotiations at all.” Trump stated that Iran has been stopping everyone for about 50 years and acting as the “bully of the Middle East.”
“We are crushing Iran”
Criticizing former US President Barack Obama for his Iran policy, Trump said: “Obama came along and gave them tens of billions of dollars. He gave them 1.7 billion dollars in cash. Do you remember? They loaded the money onto a Boeing 757 and flew it to Tehran, 1.7 billion dollars in cash. He thought he could bribe them. But they were thinking, ‘What a stupid country.’ No, you can’t bribe them. You have to defeat them, and we are crushing them very badly.”
Claiming that the US blockade of Iranian ports is showing its effect, Trump said: “But we will see what the result will be. Very sincere negotiations are currently underway. Meanwhile, look at how successful our navy is with the blockade, isn’t it? No boat can get through. They really want us to lift the blockade. They are saying, ‘We don’t want the blockade anymore.’ They are begging: ‘Please, please, no more blockade.'”
