US President Trump says that Iranian drone stockpiles are being crushed. Iran is begging to make a deal. Do not know if the US is willing to work a deal with Iran. Iran has great negotiators. Don't know if we will be able to do a deal.
- Iran should have done a deal weeks ago. This should have been done under previous US Presidents.
- Iranian navy has been sunk (reiterates); Air Force is gone, as is Iranian anti-air.
- Previous Iranian leadership is dead, they did not want to do a deal. They wanted to take over all of the Middle East. They wanted to use nuclear weapons.
- Disappointed in NATO (reiteration). Does not want to get dragged into the UK's conflicts/issues.
- UK offered to send a aircraft carrier, US said they don't need it.
- 4-6 week timeline, ahead of schedule regarding Iran (reiteration). "Really a lot ahead of schedule"
- Iran is talking to the US as they know they are defeated, they cannot make a comeback, Iran has the chance to make a deal. Will see of the correct one can be made.
