President Trump said during an interview with Real America’s Voice that his administration has several avenues with which it may end the conflict in Iran.
“We could just keep it alone, and they’re going to fail. We could just keep, you know, doing sort of just like nice and easy, relaxed,” he said. “I’m sort of negotiating. You see, they’re very devious negotiators because they’ll agree to something, then they’ll go out and tell the press that they never agreed to it. They’re very dishonest people.”
“We have three strategies,” he declared.
“Do what I’m doing now, just bop along and look how bad they’re doing because their nation’s, they’ve got 300% inflation. They have no value. Their currency has almost no value,” Trump explained. “They’re not paying their soldiers. Their soldiers are leaving. So just keep that going because that’s not sustainable.”
He added that another option is to hit Iran “really, really hard.”
“Or really the third is just beat them economically, but we’re doing that anyway,” Trump added. “That’s sort of a part of the first one. So economically, they are a mess. They can’t borrow money. We control their money, what they had, which is a lot. They had a lot, and we have total control of it.”
“I’m their banker. I am their banker.”
Trump’s statements come as he has demanded that Iran compensate the United States and other countries affected by the ongoing conflict.
“I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings!” he wrote on Truth Social. “But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat.”
