Trumpclaims Iran fears admitting it wants US deal

US President Donald Trump asserted Iran is negotiating with the United States despite Tehran's denials, stating Iranian leaders fear admitting they want a deal due to threats from their own people and the US. Speaking at the NRCC annual dinner, Trump described the Middle East conflict as a military operation to 'decimate' Iran, claiming Iran would use nuclear weapons against the US without hesitation. He framed the conflict as removing 'cancer' (Iran with nuclear weapons) and warned peace prospects in the Middle East would be 'shattered forever' without US intervention. Trump's comments come amid Republican defections over the Iran war, with his approval dropping. The article notes China reported a 'glimmer of hope' for peace talks.
