Trump: "We Don't Know Who's Talking" for Iran

US President Donald Trump has expressed doubts about who represents Iran in negotiations, stating he doesn't even know if the country's supreme leader is alive or dead. Despite his doubts, he believes Iran wants a deal to end the war, but questions their readiness. Trump assured that the US does not rely on Iranian oil and predicted a decrease in prices and inflation after an agreement is reached. Furthermore, Trump highlighted the difficult conditions faced by the Iranian opposition, which, although courageous, lacks the necessary weapons to confront the government, which he claims is killing protesters. He reiterated his call for other countries to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, while also expressing disappointment with the lack of enthusiasm from some countries that have received aid from the US in the past. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will announce which countries are willing to help, with Trump mentioning France as a potential ally. However, he expressed surprise at Britain's stance, hoping they will eventually join the security mission. Many other countries, such as Germany, Spain, and Italy, have shown no willingness to participate in the mission. Overall, Trump's statement underscores the uncertainty surrounding negotiations with Iran, the need for international cooperation in securing the Strait of Hormuz, and the US's frustration with the lack of support from some allies.
