The President of the United States, Donald Trump, intensified his threats against Iran this Wednesday (28), suggesting that, if the country does not agree to a series of demands, it would suffer a “swift and violent” attack.
The Republican said he sent a “large fleet” to the region, including the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and F-35 fighter jets. According to him, the equipment is larger than that sent to Venezuela.
Trump demands that the Iranian government negotiate a nuclear deal that “is fair to all parties”, but leaves little room for denial.
“As I said before, make a deal.”, said the agent.
This attack hit Iran’s nuclear facilities, where uranium enrichment centrifuges and reactors were located.
Also this Wednesday (28), the American Secretary of State, Even so, reinforced the threats against the country, stating that the protests that took over Iran recently could return.
“This regime is probably more weakened than ever, and the central problem they face, unlike protests seen in the past on other issues, is that they don’t have a way to respond to the protesters’ central demands, which is the collapse of the economy,” Rubio pointed out.
Iranian officials refuted the idea of negotiating under threat from the United States. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks could only take place “under conditions where threats and demands are put aside.”
“There has been no contact between me and Mr. Witkoff (American special envoy) in recent days, nor a request for negotiations from us,” Araghchi said.
The president of the country’s parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said that Trump needs to move towards “true peace”. “The whole world knows, including people in the US, that negotiating under threats of war will not solve anything,” he said during an interview with CNN.
he quickly placed the blame on the “tyrannical pressures” of American sanctions.
Regarding the increased US military presence in the region, Ghalibaf warned Washington that Iran would retaliate if attacked, putting thousands of US troops at risk.
The advisor to Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Shamkhani, threatened that any attack by the United States would be considered the start of a war, triggering a military reaction from the country.
American and European officials have called for a permanent end to all uranium enrichment, limits on the range and quantity of Tehran’s ballistic missiles and an end to support for militia groups in the Middle East such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
