President Trump said this week he does not want to negotiate with Iran as active fighting resumed in the Persian Gulf. Trump ordered strikes on an array of Iranian targets after the attacks came just weeks after Iran and the U.S. signed a memorandum of understanding that was meant to extend the ceasefire by 60 days.
News, Trump stated that "I don’t want to negotiate now. I said, ‘Let’s not negotiate.’ Three days ago, we had a deal." His remarks come amid polling data suggesting that the American public expects a long war.
Trump has declared victory dozens of times throughout the conflict and repeatedly claimed that Iran was prepared to agree to U.S. terms, only for such concessions to not materialize. The Pentagon blocks GAO report on F-35 jet program was also reported this week by the same correspondent.
