He indicated that if Iran does not negotiate peace, U.S. strikes would continue daily, with specific emphasis on energy targets. Trump mentioned that while he sees U.S. objectives as being 'completed,' he would not dismiss the possibility of a ground operation if necessary. He also noted that U.S. representatives had communicated with Iran shortly before the interview, urging them to reach a deal, while emphasizing the importance of protecting civilians during military actions.
