PANews reported on April 21 that US President Trump stated: (Regarding the Iran negotiations) I believe we will eventually reach a great deal. Iran has no choice but to send people to the negotiations. We are in a very advantageous position in our negotiations with Iran. (On Iran) This is regime change. Our negotiations with them have been very successful. The United States has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade has been a huge success. (Regarding the Iran ceasefire) We don't have that much time. We don't want to extend the ceasefire again. Iran can improve its situation by reaching an agreement. Iran has just been granted permission to attend talks in Pakistan. Iran can make itself a legitimate country. Iran seems "bloodthirsty." Iran must be rational and use common sense. Attacks on infrastructure could cause military damage to Iran. Iran is trying to move its missiles. We now have far more equipment than we did a few weeks ago. Our posture is one of readiness to bomb Iran; we are prepared.
