[Trump Says Iran Will Have Nothing If It Doesn't Give In] Today (April 6), US President Trump, speaking to the media at the White House, said that Tuesday (April 7) is the final deadline, "and it's not going to change." Trump reiterated that "Iran cannot have nuclear weapons," stating that during his first term, he tore up the Iran nuclear deal and assassinated Qassem Soleimani, then commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, "thus preventing Israel from being wiped off the map." Trump insisted that he had achieved "regime change" in Iran, saying that the current Iranian leadership negotiating with the US is "more reasonable." However, he also said, "They (Iran) just won't admit defeat, but they will eventually give in—if they don't, they will have nothing." Trump also said that if he had a choice, he would "take (Iran's) oil" because "oil is readily available, and they (Iran) can't do anything about it." Trump stated, "Unfortunately, the American people want us home—if it were up to me, I would take the oil, I would keep the oil for myself, I would make a lot of money." When asked by a reporter why the fighting continues despite repeated claims by the US that Iranian military capabilities have been destroyed, Trump replied, "They (Iran) still have some missiles, some drones. They were lucky to shoot down one (US) plane." (CCTV International News)
