‘This is not good’: Donald Trump says US has ‘other way’ to deal with Iran
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he would have to decide between making a deal with Iran or doing it “the other way”, which he commented would not be “good”.He said he would prefer to deal with Iran in a “good way”.“Now I have to make a determination: Do we sign a deal, or do we do it… another way? And the other way is not good,” Trump told the New York Post.The American leader was then asked what this “other way” would achieve.He replied: “Certainly… it will be over. There will be no mess. No negotiations. No delays. But I would prefer to do it in a good way… from a humanitarian point of view.”After this the reporter asked Trump whether all this could be achieved only by bombing. In response, he said: “Yeah, you don’t have to do that. We don’t need boots on the ground. We destroyed most of their army just by bombing. We didn’t kill anybody on the ground. You don’t want to do that if you can avoid it. You’re too far.”The Republican leader’s comments came a day after Iran attacked Kuwait’s main international airport, targeting a key US ally, amid an already strained ceasefire. The Islamic Republic has repeatedly targeted Washington’s allies across the region, in retaliation for the US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February that sparked the Middle East conflict.The US-Iran ceasefire is in effect from April 8.A ceasefire was announced a day after Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that “an entire civilization will die tonight”, sparking controversy.
