President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran is not currently prepared to reach a deal with the United States, but predicted the situation would change. "They'll be ready very soon," He stated at a rally in Georgia.
Trump characterized the tension with Iran as a "skirmish," Noting that the country is under significant pressure and wants to negotiate. However, he said Iran remains unprepared because "every time they make a deal, they want to change it."
Earlier that day, Trump issued a warning regarding Iranian actions in the Strait of Hormuz. He wrote on Truth Social that "any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by missile, rocket, drone or another device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant, including those located next to, or in, the capital city of Tehran."
