On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump condemned the Iranian leadership, labeling them as “scum” and “sick people.” He indicated that Iran’s recent assaults on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz could signal the collapse of the current ceasefire.
While addressing reporters during the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, Trump reiterated his warning to Iran regarding potential large-scale military actions, although he noted that the ongoing hostilities would not lead to prolonged military involvement.
In his remarks, Trump stated, “I’m number one on the kill list for Iran… but I don’t really care because I’m doing my job, and I’m doing it, I hope, better than anybody’s ever done it.”
When discussing his stance toward Iran, Trump mentioned, “I think more than anything else is I got to know them — and I’m not sure I want to make a deal with them. We can play games, but I’m not sure I want to make a deal. Let’s just finish the job.”
