Trump claims Iran is 'totally defeated' and wants a deal, but rejects terms as 'not good enough yet'

President Trump posted on Truth Social claiming that Iran has been 'totally defeated' in the US-Israeli military campaign and wants a deal, but stated he would not accept it. He accused the 'Fake News Media' of not reporting US military success against Iran. In a follow-up statement to NBC News, Trump said he was unwilling to make a deal because 'the terms aren't good enough yet,' without elaborating on what satisfactory terms would be. This came despite Iranian officials publicly pledging to continue the fight and Iran's foreign minister rejecting any dialogue with the US. The statements reflect Trump's characterization of ongoing military operations against Iran as successful while maintaining a hardline negotiating position.

"The Fake News Media hates to report how well the United States Military has done against Iran, which is totally defeated and wants a deal - But not a deal that I would accept!"
