US President Donald Trump said Washington is engaged in negotiations with Iran, while accusing Iranian officials of using deceptive tactics during the talks.
Speaking to Real America’s Voice, Trump described Iranian negotiators as “very cunning” and claimed they sometimes agree to terms during negotiations before publicly denying that they had done so.
Trump said the US is pursuing three strategies toward Iran.
The first involves closely monitoring the country and assessing its condition. The second, he said, is “hitting them very hard.” The third is economic pressure, which Trump said Washington is pursuing regardless of the negotiations.
Trump also claimed Iran is facing inflation of 300%, that its currency is “almost worthless,” and that the government is struggling to pay its soldiers.
He further claimed the US controls a significant amount of Iranian money and assets.
Trump reiterated that Iran will not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
He also criticized the nuclear agreement reached under former President Barack Obama, calling it “disastrous” and claiming Iran would have obtained a nuclear weapon within five years had he not withdrawn the US from the deal.
