U.S. President Donald Trump promised to strike a favorable deal to end the war with Iran, warning that the regime's attempts to "wait it out" would not succeed because "I don't care about the midterms," UNN reports, citing CNN.
"They thought they'd wait it out, you know? We'll wait it out, he's got the midterms coming up," Trump said during a cabinet meeting, dismissing concerns about the domestic political consequences of the war.
"I don't care about the midterms. Look at what happened last night, that was a prelude to the midterms. People understand that," he said, hinting at his candidate's victory in the Republican primary in Texas.
The President expressed confidence that the U.S. would soon reach an agreement to end the conflict, though he warned that his administration is not yet satisfied with the terms and is ready to resume hostilities if it cannot secure its demands.
"We're not satisfied, but we will be satisfied," Trump said. "Either that, or we'll just have to finish the job."
He also cited the restoration of internet access in Iran as a sign of the regime's softening stance, claiming that "their entire economic system is destroyed."
"They just want to make a deal," he said. "I don't think they have a choice."
Trump stated that sanctions against Iran will not be eased if it hands over uranium27.05.26, 19:25
