Again, Donald Trump Claims Iran Agreed to Almost All US Demands in Negotiations

JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump claimed Iran had agreed to almost all of Washington's key demands while highlighting progress in negotiations with Tehran.

"We are negotiating... I think they have agreed to almost everything we need," Trump said in an interview with CNBC, Thursday.

He stressed that Washington was not pushing for a change of government in Iran because their main goal was to prevent Tehran from having nuclear weapons.

"We don't want regime change. I want something very simple: They will not have nuclear weapons," he said.

The US president also stressed that the US military operation against Iran was the right action, saying the Iranian military had been "completely defeated".

"I conquered them militarily. They really surrendered. They still have a number of missiles, but we can finish them all without a trace," Trump said, as quoted by Antara from Anadolu.

"I also attacked them three more times very hard last week because they launched a ship," he said, adding.

As for Thursday, the mediators of Qatar and Pakistan ensured that the next round of US-Iranian negotiations would be carried out as soon as possible after the funeral of the late supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who died in the joint US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28.

Ali Khamenei's funeral procession will take place from July 4 to 9.
