While talking to reporters in the presidential plane ‘Air Force One’ while going to Waterford Township, US President Donald Trump has made a big revelation. Trump claimed that after a direct appeal from Tehran and an offer for peace talks, America has stopped its ongoing military action against Iran for the time being. According to Trump, Iran contacted the US administration and said, ‘Please wait, let’s talk together.’ The President has described this as a big diplomatic opportunity to reduce tension between the two countries. However, he also warned in a stern tone that if the talks do not reach any consensus, America will again return to the same aggressive posture and attacks will be resumed.
Round of talks started after 2 weeks of heavy bombardment
It is worth noting that for the last two weeks, US has been carrying out massive air strikes on Iran’s major military bases and infrastructure, which has caused huge damage there. Now after stopping the attacks, the Trump administration is assessing the future strategy. Trump says that both the countries are currently on the negotiation table directly and through mediators. He claimed that Iran’s request for a meeting has come only because American military operations have caused huge losses to them. According to Trump, if the US military’s performance in the war had been weak, Tehran would never have requested the meeting.
Biden targeted on the shortage of Patriot missiles, said- ‘Weapons production continues’
When asked by journalists about the decreasing stock of missile interceptors and ammunition with the US Army, Trump clarified that the country has enough resources for its security. Along with this, he criticized the tenure of former President Joe Biden and said that American defense stockpile was affected due to large-scale sending of weapons to Ukraine. However, Trump expressed confidence that now Patriot missiles and medium-range defense weapons are being manufactured in America on a war footing and there will be no shortage of weapons in the country.
Attacks stopped on advice of JD Vance and CENTCOM? The truth behind the scenes
Although Trump is giving credit for the initiative of talks to his military strength, some internal strategic reasons have also come to light in American media reports. According to reports, US Vice President JD Vance and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kane, in a meeting with the President, expressed concern over depleting ammunition stocks and the expansion of the war. In addition, Admiral Brad Cooper, head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), also advised the White House that the bombing campaign that has been going on for the past two weeks around the Strait of Hormuz has reached the limit of its effectiveness. Following this strategic advice from several military commanders and civilian think tanks, President Trump issued an order to stop the attacks.
