Trump says he will not reach a ceasefire agreement with Iran for the time being.

PANews reported on March 15th, citing CCTV News, that US President Trump stated on March 14th that Iran had expressed its willingness to negotiate a ceasefire, but the conditions offered were "not good enough," therefore the US would not reach an agreement with Iran to end the war for the time being. In an interview, Trump said, "Iran wants a deal, but I don't want one right now because the conditions aren't good enough." He did not specify the negotiation conditions but stated that any agreement must be "very solid," implying that Iran must completely abandon its nuclear program. Regarding military action, Trump claimed that the US and Israeli strikes had severely weakened Iran's military capabilities. He stated that the US military had destroyed most of Iran's missiles, drones, and related production facilities, adding that these capabilities would be "completely destroyed within two days." Trump also confirmed that the US military had launched an attack on Kharg Island, Iran's oil export hub. He stated that the US had "almost completely destroyed the island," but deliberately avoided damaging key energy pipelines to prevent reconstruction from taking years.
