US President Donald Trump indicates that no progress has been made toward a deal after declaring four days ago that an agreement was “largely negotiated” and that the details would be “announced shortly.”
In opening remarks at a White House cabinet meeting, Trump again claims that Iran “wants to make a deal,” but that the US is “not satisfied” yet with what it is seeing.
“We will be [satisfied]… Either that, or we’ll have to just finish the job,” Trump again threatens.
Trump claims Iran has decided to begin lifting the country’s internet blackout “because they’re getting clobbered.”
“They thought they were going to out-wait me,” Trump says, claiming that Iran thought he would be forced to capitulate to bring down costs ahead of the fall midterms.
“I don’t care about the midterms,” Trump says, before clarifying that the candidates he backs are winning regardless.
“With Operation Epic Future, our warriors are ensuring that the world’s number one state sponsor of terror never obtains a nuclear weapon,” he adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
