Trump Says He Has ‘All The Time In The World’ To Make a Deal With Iran, Which Doesn’t

President Donald Trump said he has “all the time in the world” to make a deal with Iran and end the war, but Tehran is not in that same position because the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is choking its finances.

In a social media publication, Trump lashed out at media publications for, in his view, conveying that he is “anxious” to end the war in Iran.

“With Iran, please be advised that I am possibly the least pressured person ever to be in this position. I have all the time in the World, but Iran doesn’t — The clock is ticking!” he added.

Trump went on to say that Tehran’s “Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is demolished, their Anti Aircraft and Radar Weaponry is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, the Blockade is airtight and strong and, from there, it only gets worse — Time is not on their side!”

“A Deal will only be made when it’s appropriate and good for the United States of America, our Allies and, in fact, the rest of the World,” he concluded.

However, doubts persist about who in Iran could be able to have the authority necessary to continue negotiations and potentially reach a deal.

Trump also said on Thursday that Iranian officials are “having a very hard time figuring out who their leader is.”

“They just don’t know! The infighting is between the “Hardliners,” who have been losing BADLY on the battlefield, and the ‘Moderates,’ who are not very moderate at all (but gaining respect!), is CRAZY! We have total control over the Strait of Hormuz. No ship can enter or leave without the approval of the United States Navy. It is ‘Sealed up Tight,’ until such time as Iran is able to make a DEAL!!!” he added.

Elsewhere, a new report claimed that some officials in Israel and the U.S. believe that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is not ruling Iran, with control being exerted by the revolutionary guard (IRGC).

The New York Times reported that Khamenei “remains sharp and involved in running the country, which is being managed like a board of directors, together with IRGC commanders.” However, he has not been seen or heard since the beginning of the war. Different reports claimed that he was severely injured in the February 28 attack in which his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed.
