Trump then reiterated that the crux of the negotiations is Iran’s commitment never to possess, develop or acquire a nuclear weapon. Given US military strength, “we could go on for another two or three weeks and wipe everybody out,” he added. “I’d rather not do that,” he concluded. ‘It’s very easy to do. But if we can put something in writing that achieves the same result without killing everyone, I’d like to do it. Most of my people would agree. Some would not, but most would.”
