We will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons, the US president emphasized the day before, while talking to journalists in the Oval Office.
If it requires a military operation, we will deploy troops. Israel, of course, will lead this operation. No one will control us. We will do what we want
At the same time, the Republican president did not specify the likely timing of the start of military operations.
I don't want to be specific. But when you start negotiations, you know whether they will go well or not. And I would say that the conclusion would be as if I didn't think they were going well
