In an interview with the Financial Times on Tuesday, Donald Trump dismissed speculation about Washington's decision to escalate the military confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran after the midterm congressional elections, stressing that the United States "has no immediate plans to attack Iran." Referring to the fact that Washington considers the current situation with Tehran "satisfactory", the US president said: "It seems we are getting everything we wanted". He also added in response to the signs raised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the possibility of an imminent attack in the coming days: "I am ready, we are ready. "We are fully prepared and armed if necessary, but maybe there is no reason to do that." Emphasizing that due to previous damage to the infrastructure, he does not see in Washington a "real war" with Tehran as in the world wars, the US President announced the continuation of the indirect negotiations on Iran's enriched uranium reserves and stated: "Although these materials are under hundreds of tons of rocks, I am not satisfied with them being there.
The President of the United States said: "We seem to be getting everything we want." Trump told the "Financial Times" that more oil now passes through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war, an essential passage for crude oil from the Persian Gulf, and that the American blockade of Iran's ports is also successfully weakening Tehran's economy. He called the situation "extraordinary", adding that America is "not really" at war with Iran. Regarding Iran's enriched uranium, Trump said: "Even though this stuff is under hundreds of tons of rock, I have to say, I'm not happy it's still there."
"So that's one of the things we're talking about," he said. But you know, we're negotiating and we'll see what the result will be."
