United States President Donald Trump claimed that Iran is “agreeing” with a US-proposed 15-point plan for ending the ongoing war in the Middle East during a press conference held on Air Force One on Sunday.
When asked about Iran’s response to the plan, which was sent to Iran via Pakistan, Trump said, “They gave us most of the points,” and asked, “Why wouldn’t they?” He added that Iran is “agreeing” with the US on the plan and that, in addition to the original 15 points, the US will be “asking for a couple of other things.”
Reporters also asked Trump whether he believed Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s newly appointed supreme leader, was alive.
“We think he may be,” Trump responded, adding “but he’s obviously in serious trouble and seriously wounded” after the strike that killed his father, the previous supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
When asked if he foresees a deal being made this upcoming week, Trump affirmed that he does and that a deal “could be soon.”
This is a developing story.
