Trump Says US-Israeli War On Iran Will ‘Be Over With Soon’

WASHINGTON, May 23 -- President Donald Trump appeared to signpost Friday that a conclusion to the US-Israeli war against Iran is on the horizon, Anadolu Ajans reported. "We have stopped them. They're not going to ever have a nuclear weapon. They're never going to have a nuclear weapon. And we'll have that over with soon. It'll be over with soon," the US president told his supporters in the state of New York. "You're going to see numbers like you've never seen, both on the upside and also in terms of cost; you're going to see cars go down," he added. Earlier Friday, Iran's semi-official news agency reported that a Qatari delegation is negotiating with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Tehran in a bid to end the war amid Pakistani mediation. The report came after Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, arrived in Tehran as part of Islamabad's ongoing mediation efforts to end the war. It is the second such trip to Tehran by Munir. Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has been in Tehran for the past two days as part of indirect talks between the US and Iran. The flurry of diplomatic activity comes as reports suggest negotiators are closing gaps on an agreement to end the war. Mediation to draw hostilities to a close began when Pakistan secured a ceasefire on April 8, halting the war and later hosting the highest-level talks between the US and Iran since 1979 on April 11-12. Islamabad has intensified its mediation process to secure a second round of direct talks between the two sides. -- BERNAM

West Asian conflict: US should do a mission to Iran to seize nuclear material – Trump

ISTANBUL: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that US troops would need to carry out a mission to Iran to recover nuclear assets following an air strike that destroyed Tehran's enrichment facilities, Anadolu Agency reported. "Now we're going to suffer the consequences, because we have to travel to Iran to get nuclear weapons," Trump told reporters. He is believed to be referring to about 1,000 pounds (453.6 kilograms) of enriched uranium reportedly trapped under the rubble of a site targeted in a US-Israeli strike last June. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that the material was "under the rubble" with no immediate plans to retrieve it. Trump claimed that Washington had destroyed Tehran's nuclear capabilities. "We destroyed their nuclear potential. It was completely eliminated," he said, explaining that Iran would need weeks to obtain the material and that the US "will not allow them to continue digging" because of ongoing military monitoring. He also claimed that Tehran knew they "had no chance," despite their public statements to the contrary. "They told me that when I spoke to them, but on television they said the opposite," he said. "They don't like playing games with us. They don't like it at all," Trump said. -- BERNAMA-ANADOLU
