Trump says 'losing faith' in Iran

Published Updated

US President Donald Trump says that Iran will grow weaker, but notes that the American public needs to prepare for more strikes in the Middle East.

Asked about the status of talks, Trump says, “They always want to talk, but they break their word so often.

“I’m losing faith in them, because they do lie,” he adds. “The five missiles they shot, we knocked them down, but we were in the midst of a negotiation.”

Asked about how many more strikes it will take to completely degrade Iran, Trump responds, “Well, you never know. Most people would have given up by now.”
