Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump claims Iran leaders fear being killed as he insists talks are underway
Caption: Trump claims Iran leaders fear being killed as he insists talks are underway. U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran’s leaders want a deal but are “afraid” to admit it publicly. Speaking at an NRCC fundraising dinner, he claimed Iranian officials fear being “killed by their own people” — and also by the U.S. Trump insisted negotiations are happening despite repeated denials from Tehran, which says no talks are underway. He described the conflict as a “military operation,” avoiding the term war due to congressional approval requirements. The president claimed the U.S. is “decimating” Iran and achieving major victories that are not being fully shown publicly. Trump also argued Iran would have used nuclear weapons “without hesitation,” framing the conflict as necessary for global security. Meanwhile, Iranian officials rejected a U.S. proposal to end the war, setting out strict conditions including reparations and sovereignty guarantees. Tehran reiterated it will only end the conflict on its own terms, insisting on a full end to hostilities rather than a temporary ceasefire.
