US President Donald Trump said yesterday he was not happy with Iran and wants to make a deal with Tehran but warned that “sometimes you have to” use military force.
Trump, talking to reporters as he left the White House on a trip to Texas, said Iran was still unwilling to forswear nuclear weapons as demanded by the US.
He spoke a day after negotiations between US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Iranian officials in Geneva ended with no deal. A massive US military presence is in the region waiting on Trump’s order.
Asked about the potential for use of force, Trump said the US has the greatest military in the world. “I’d love not to use it but sometimes you have to,” he said.
Trump said more discussions on Iran would take place later in the day. He did not specify with whom, but top US defence officials were at the White House for talks.
“We want no nuclear weapons by Iran and they’re not saying those golden words,” Trump said.
