President Donald Trump expressed a preference for negotiating with Iran rather than resorting to military action, stating that he would rather make a deal than “bombing the hell out of it.” He added that Israel would not take military action if a deal were reached.
“I would like a deal done with Iran on non-nuclear. I would prefer that to bombing the hell out of it,” he told the New York Post. “They don’t want to die. Nobody wants to die.”
Trump also asserted that Israel would refrain from bombing Iran if an agreement was struck.
“If we made the deal, Israel wouldn’t bomb them,” he said.
The US president made it clear that he would not reveal the specifics of his negotiations with Tehran.
“In a way, I don’t like telling you what I’m going to tell them. You know, it’s not nice,” he explained. “I could tell what I have to tell them, and I hope they decide that they’re not going to do what they’re currently thinking of doing. And I think they’ll really be happy.”
Last week, Trump dismissed any notion that the US and Israel were planning a military strike on Iran. He clarified that his goal was to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Tehran, urging that efforts to establish this agreement should begin immediately.
