President Donald Trump stated today that he is unhappy with Iran’s recent negotiation offer to end the war, expressing skepticism about the nation’s capacity to agree to a settlement.
“They are looking to strike an agreement,” Trump stated to journalists at the White House. “I’m not happy with it.”
He did not clearly specify which aspects of Iran’s recent document he found unacceptable, and suggested that officials in Tehran might never agree to a negotiated resolution to the conflict.
“They’ve made progress, but I doubt they will ever succeed,” Trump remarked on the South Lawn, speaking of the “great division” among Iran’s leadership.
“The leadership is quite fragmented,” he stated. “It has two to three teams, possibly four, and the leadership is quite fragmented.” And with that noted, they all wish to strike a deal, yet they’re all in disarray.
