According to Trump, Washington was in a winning position during the negotiation process.
"We could have continued bombing for another three to four weeks or even two years. We held all the cards,"
Trump said that in recent days alone, American strikes had been extremely large-scale.
"Over the last couple of days, we were very tough. Those bombs cost about 200 million dollars. Very expensive bombs. We made it clear to them that their fleet was sunk, that they had no air defense,"
At the same time, the head of the White House emphasized that Iran ultimately made the right decision.
"I think they acted very smartly. They love their country and made the right choice,"
He also emphasized that there is currently no talk of a change of power in Iran.
"Nobody is talking about regime change,"
