In his sudden pivot to negotiations toward a deal with Iran, President Donald Trump has contradicted his own recent statements while declaring Tuesday that “regime change” had been achieved.
The U.S. commander in chief told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday that Iranian leaders were “all gone,” adding, “Nobody knows who to talk to.”
But he then contradicted that statement by saying, “But we’re actually talking to the right people, and they want to make a deal so badly.” He also appeared to preempt talks he said were ongoing when he stated, “I don’t want to say [it] in advance, but they’ve agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon.”
