Speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, Trump said “the victory in Iran is now very near and the military operations have lasted only two months.”

He also framed the conflict as proceeding with “complete smoothness,” and said Washington has the ability to do “whatever it wants in Iran.”

Trump said he did not want to go to war, but argued it was necessary “to prevent Tehran from possessing a nuclear weapon.”

In the same account, Trump praised Iran, calling it “a strong and intelligent country with fierce fighters,” and he said “the US military is the strongest in the world.”

He further claimed that “destroying the Iranian fleet is a real fact on the ground,” adding that one American warship was attacked by 111 missiles and that “all were intercepted.”

In a separate interview aired on Fox Business, Trump said there would be “no deal” with Iran if it continues to pursue a nuclear weapon.

“They cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said, adding, “If they don’t, we’re not making a deal.”

He described US forces as having inflicted heavy damage on Iran, saying “Everything’s been wiped out… They have no air force… no radar.”

Trump characterized Iran’s leadership as “a new regime” and “pretty reasonable by comparison,” while saying the final outcome remains uncertain.

He insisted that “It only matters the end result… and maybe it’ll happen fairly soon,” and he linked the possibility of resolution to energy prices, saying “Maybe almost immediately… it could be very soon.”

Trump also said the United States has the capability to strike Iran’s infrastructure but does not want to escalate further, stating, “We could take out every one of their bridges in one hour… every one of their power plants,” and then adding, “We don’t want to do that.”

He warned, “You cannot do it. You cannot give Iran a nuclear weapon,” and said, “The world will blow up.”

The Al-Jazeera Net account places Trump’s remarks inside an active diplomacy timeline, saying that “Last Sunday, Iran and the United States announced the end of a round of negotiations held in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, without reaching a final agreement to halt the war.”

It adds that the sides traded “mutual accusations” about responsibility for derailment, and it notes that on “8 April of this month” Washington and Tehran announced a “two-week truce brokered by Pakistan.”

That truce, the account says, was intended to “paving the way for broader negotiations to end the war that the United States and Israel began against Iran on February 28 of last year.”

In the same report, Trump said the United States has “very good relations with Iran, and this is unbelievable,” and he described the economic blockade as “holding steady” while “we are making great progress in this regard.”

He also said the ceasefire “ends next week,” and he suggested he “may extend the ceasefire agreement with Iran if necessary.”

At the rally, Trump warned that if negotiations fail, “fighting will be resumed,” and he said “If we do not reach an agreement with Iran, fighting will be resumed.”

The Fox Business interview similarly framed the conflict’s end as conditional on nuclear outcomes, with Trump insisting “They cannot have a nuclear weapon” and “If they don’t, we’re not making a deal.”

MS NOW’s opinion piece argues that Trump’s approach has created a “credibility problem” that affects America’s ability to secure concessions from Iran.

The piece says the United States is “stuck in a conflict with Iran, unable to win significant concessions and unwilling to back down in the face of obvious failure,” and it frames the situation as “of Trump’s own making.”

It asserts that “Credibility gives words power,” and argues that “Promises don’t work if the recipients think you’ll break them; threats don’t work if the targets think you won’t follow through.”

The opinion says Trump has “reneging on the 2015 deal that restricted Iran’s nuclear program, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA,” even though “Iran was following the agreement.”

It claims that after the US bombed Iranian nuclear sites in 2025, Trump said the program was “totally and completely obliterated,” but then “within a year, Trump said Iran was on the verge of multiple nuclear weapons.”

The piece also says Trump’s warnings have hardened Iranian leaders’ resolve, pointing to “the warnings of regime change from Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

It further contends that Trump’s credibility issues extend beyond Iran, stating “His word is worthless,” and concluding that “It’s possible that even the president doesn’t know.”

The Al-Jazeera Net account also includes Trump’s claims about China and arms transfers, saying Trump said “Xi Jinping told him Beijing is not supplying weapons to Iran.”

“President Donald Trump has the United States stuck in a conflict with Iran, unable to win significant concessions and unwilling to back down in the face of obvious failure”

It states that Trump said he “wrote to Xi after hearing claims that China was providing arms to Tehran,” and that he asked Xi “not to do that.”

The report then quotes Trump saying that Xi responded, “saying that essentially he’s not doing that.”

Trump said the exchange would not affect broader discussions between the two sides, according to the same account.

In the Fox Business interview, Trump similarly emphasized that the United States has not received “pushback from other countries over US actions in the region, including moves affecting the Strait of Hormuz.”

The Al-Jazeera Net account also describes Trump praising the Navy’s performance in the Strait of Hormuz, saying “Our Navy is doing a great job in the Strait of Hormuz,” and that “the blockade of Iran's ports is holding steady.”

Taken together, the sources show Trump presenting both diplomatic messaging to China and operational claims about regional pressure, while repeatedly tying the conflict’s end to Iran’s nuclear status.
