Trump says US not rushing to end conflict with Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump said that ending the conflict with Iran is not an immediate priority for his administration, stressing that the United States is not under time pressure while Iran faces increasing constraints.

In a post published on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump also sharply criticised major American media outlets, dismissing reports that he is seeking a swift end to the confrontation.

“For those people, fewer in number now than ever before, that are reading The Failing New York Times, or watching Fake News CNN, that think that I am “anxious” to end the War (if you would even call it that!) with Iran, please be advised that I am possibly the least pressured person ever to be in this position. I have all the time in the World, but Iran doesn’t — The clock is ticking! The reason some of the Media is doing so poorly with Subscribers and Viewers is because they no longer have credibility. Iran’s Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is demolished, their Anti Aircraft and Radar Weaponry is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, the Blockade is airtight and strong and, from there, it only gets worse — Time is not on their side! A Deal will only be made when it’s appropriate and good for the United States of America, our Allies and, in fact, the rest of the World,” the post reads.
