Economic Consequences and Ongoing Negotiations
War with Iran is one of the main reasons for the rise in gasoline prices, which has put significant pressure on voters and has pressured Trump to end this conflict. Meanwhile, Iranian negotiators in Doha have been in talks with Qatari mediators for the third consecutive day to reach an agreement to end the war. Trump also expressed that he believes Iran wants an agreement and such an agreement could "happen."
Vice President J.D. Vance also reported that "a number of good discussions have taken place with the Iranians." He added: "The President and I both feel good about the possibility of reaching a negotiated agreement. We will continue our work."
Trump's Firm Stance on Nuclear Weapons
Trump emphasized that his main demand is that Iran never obtains nuclear weapons. He stated: "We will never allow Iran to have nuclear weapons, and they know this. They have understood this and even recently referenced it."
Trump added: "If we allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, this country will never act the same way. The world will be completely different." He also emphasized that the ongoing operations are not actually a war, as "we have not had much conflict recently" and noted that previous attacks have resulted in the deaths of some Iranian leaders.
