President Trump provided an update on the war in Iran and ongoing ceasefire negotiations while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday. Early in the press conference, Trump was asked by Newsmax’s Mike Carter to respond to Iran’s recent targeting of US forces and the overnight attack on Kuwait, which injured dozens of people. Trump suggested that the attack was “not a big deal” as US forces “nipped it in the bud very quickly.” He further maintained that negotiations are going “very well” and said that a deal could be finalized this weekend.When asked how he defines a ceasefire, Trump responded, “It’s a different part of the world. You know, I’d say that part of the world ceasefire is when you’re shooting in a more moderate manner.” He added, “A ceasefire there is much different than a ceasefire in other parts of the world.”WATCH:Carter: Given Iran’s attacks on Kuwait, this latest attack on Kuwait, is the ceasefire with Iran is still on?Trump: Well, you know, there’s a reason for everything, and we hit them pretty hard the night before, and actually last night, and when it was explained to me, I said, all right, so we’ll do that, but we’ve been hitting them pretty hard a little bit, so there is a reason for certain things, and there’s usually a reason that sometimes makes sense. But they did something very, not a big deal, we got it, we nipped it in the bud very quickly, as we do with the greatest military in the world, but some people would say they were slightly provoked because we took a strong action for a different reason, so they were reciprocating. I hear the negotiation itself has gone very well, actually, very well. I mean, if it happens, and it might not happen, you know, who knows? But if it happens, it could happen like over the weekend.!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v78llrc","div":"rumble_v78llrc"});Later in the press conference, Trump told reporters that Iran has agreed to allow the US to dig up and destroy its nuclear material, which was “buried underneath a mountain” after the Operation Midnight Hammer strikes last summer, he said. However, the agreement appears uncertain, as “sometimes” Iran is not on board.Still, “We have with Space Force, we have cameras from every angle of that. Those three sites are being watched at all times,” Trump said. “If anybody went there, we’ll see exactly what’s happening, and we’ll blow it up a little bit further.”“As of this moment, it’s agreed that we will go in with them, we will get it, and we will destroy it. It will be destroyed,” he added.When asked about the negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and Israel’s war in Lebanon, Trump assured reporters that the shooting between Israel and Hezbollah would cease, but that he’d “like to have a separate thing,” meaning a deal with Iran without contingencies on an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire. “I’d like to separate it, I’d like to have a separate thing, because it is separate,” he said.Trump further stated, “Immediately upon signing the memorandum of understanding, the Hormuz Strait will open, and it’ll open up quickly, and we’ve already had our mine sweepers there.”“Now, that’s subject to a couple of areas being cleaned out, also of mines, which we don’t think there are any, so it’ll happen very quickly, and we’ll take the Southern route anyway, but immediately upon signing, we open up the Hormuz Strait,” he continued.As The Gateway Pundit reported, negotiations between the US and Iran are ongoing with continued talks over a “largely negotiated” framework for a 60-day “memorandum of understanding” (MOU) that Trump announced late last month. Included in the proposal would be a 60-day ceasefire extension, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, concessions from Iran on nuclear enrichment, and an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v78ln4g","div":"rumble_v78ln4g"});As The Gateway Pundit reported, Iran launched an overnight strike on Kuwait, which killed one person, injured at least 63, and caused heavy damage to the international airport. US forces also intercepted a wave of Iranian suicide drones targeting US personnel.This comes after the US launched “self-defense” strikes and intercepted more Iranian missiles and drones on Tuesday night, testing the fragile ongoing ceasefire.MORE:U.S. Military Launches Precision “Self-Defense Strikes” in Southern Iran – Neutralizing IRGC Threats to American Troops After Radical Regime’s Latest Provocations/*!
