President Donald Trump said US warships are being reloaded with weaponry to attack Iran if talks in Pakistan fail to produce a deal.
“We have a reset going. We’re loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made – even better than what we did previously and we blew them apart,” he said in an interview with the New York Post.
“And if we don’t have a deal, we will be using them, and we will be using them very effectively.”
Earlier, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said negotiations with the US cannot begin until two key conditions are met: the implementation of a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of frozen Iranian assets.
“Two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to be implemented: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets prior to the commencement of negotiations,” wrote Ghalibaf in a post on X. “These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.”
