Speaking at the White House, Trump noted that Tehran might have "slightly" replenished its weapons stockpiles, but emphasized that the American military is capable of quickly destroying these capabilities.
Their navy is gone. Their air force is gone, their air defense is gone... maybe they've strengthened a bit during the two-week break, but we'll deal with that
Negotiations with Iran
The President also commented on the prospects for peace talks, emphasizing that he would not rush into concluding an agreement.
Don't rush me... I want to make the best deal. I could make it right now, but I want it to last forever
When asked about the possibility of using nuclear weapons, he answered negatively.
Why would I use nuclear weapons? We destroyed them with conventional means... Nuclear weapons should not be allowed to be used by anyone
The statements came amid an ongoing truce and a lack of progress in negotiations between the US and Iran.
