Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Thursday, April 29, 2026, at the White House: "The Iranian government is very eager to reach an agreement. I don't want to go into too much detail, but if that happens, they should not have nuclear weapons, believe it or not."

Trump, referring to the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic, added: "Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, and almost all of their equipment has been destroyed." He stated that about 82% of drone factories and nearly 90% of missile factories are out of operation, and many missiles have also been destroyed.

The President of the United States also discussed the B-2 bomber attack, saying: "If we didn't have that B-2 bomber and didn't take action, we wouldn't have completely destroyed their nuclear capability." He added that this action prevented the Islamic Republic from obtaining a nuclear bomb and that this attack should have happened years ago.

Trump pointed out the current leadership situation in the Islamic Republic, saying: "Their first-tier leaders are gone, their second-tier leaders are gone, and now we are dealing with third-tier leaders." He described the current state of the Islamic Republic as "very bad" and added that many leaders, along with the military, have been eliminated.

Regarding the negotiation process, he said: "No one except myself and a few others knows exactly what the negotiations are about." Trump emphasized that the Iranian government is very eager for an agreement, but he considered the lack of clarity in the leadership structure a problem.

The President of the United States also commented on the Iranian football team's presence in America and the statements of the FIFA president, saying: "Let them play well. Do whatever you want. They probably have a good team."

Trump stated: "If Iran has nuclear weapons and uses them, then the whole world will be completely different. Then the issue is not just paying a little more for gasoline. Gasoline and oil prices will drop rapidly as soon as the war ends."

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, declared that Iran should not acquire nuclear weapons and that the United States does not need help from other countries for potential action.

He said from day one, Iran was "finished," and if necessary, the U.S. is fully prepared to act.

Trump criticized some European countries, saying: "Italy has not helped us at all, and Spain has been completely disastrous."

He added that the U.S. has helped these countries regarding Ukraine, while according to him, Ukraine has no direct connection to the U.S.

The President of the United States also criticized Germany, stating that the country is facing immigration, energy, and Ukraine issues.

He added that one of the German officials criticized him for his approach to Iran, but in response to the question of whether Iran should have nuclear weapons, he answered negatively.

Trump emphasized: "For this world, for our country, and certainly for Israel, the Middle East, and Europe, Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons." He added that the U.S. military has severely weakened the Islamic Republic.

The President of the United States also said: "Iran has killed 42,000 people in the past two months—protesters. They killed that wrestler, and his teammates too. He was a world champion in wrestling, a great wrestler, with extraordinary talent. They killed him because he protested. He wasn't wrestling; he was speaking out against the government, and that's why they killed him. They executed him and his friends."

Regarding the officials of the Islamic Republic, he said: "These are a tough and ruthless group. But we have severely weakened them, and their economy is in a disastrous state. We will see how long they can last. We will see."

Trump added: "We can fly directly from the middle of Tehran without being shot at because they have no air defense. They have nothing. They are trying to figure out what is going on. But I am going to negotiate, and they are forcing you to negotiate from a position of weakness, not from a position of strength. But the difference is that it doesn't matter to me. And everyone knows the reality. We are destroying that country."
