US President Donald Trump said this evening (Thursday) that in his opinion the situation with Iran will 'end fairly soon'. 'I don't think they can continue much longer', he said, adding that he is involved in negotiations and that he thinks the United States is in a good position. Trump emphasized that when he began the operation against Iran, it was an operation of immense importance, since the ayatollah regime must not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. 'Otherwise, the whole world could have exploded', he said, adding that 'we had no choice'. In an interview with Fox News yesterday, Trump claimed that 'Iran will never have a nuclear weapon', and that the Strait of Hormuz will open very soon, and if not - 'they will get hit very hard'. When asked what would happen if Iran again backed out of the understandings, he replied: 'If they back out again, they will get hit very hard. They know that. They understand that. I have no choice - Iran must not have a nuclear weapon'.
