Speaking to the media at the White House, US President Trump said that Tuesday (April 7), Eastern Time, was the final deadline and "unchangeable." Trump reiterated that "Iran cannot have nuclear weapons," stating that during his first term, he withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and assassinated Qassem Soleimani, then commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, "thus preventing Israel from being wiped off the map." Trump insisted that he had achieved "regime change" in Iran, saying that the current Iranian leadership negotiating with the US is "more reasonable." However, he also said, "They (Iran) just won't back down, but they will eventually give in—if they don't, they will have nothing." Trump also said that if he had a choice, he would "take (Iran's) oil" because "oil is readily available, and they (Iran) can't do anything about it." Trump stated, "Unfortunately, the American people want us home—if it were up to me, I would take the oil, I would keep the oil for myself, I would make a lot of money." When asked by a reporter why the fighting continues despite repeated claims by the U.S. that Iranian military capabilities have been destroyed, Trump replied, "They (Iran) still have some missiles, some drones. They were lucky to shoot down one (U.S.) plane." (CCTV International News)
