What is the story about?
Donald Trump on Sunday said that he wants Iran to "unconditional surrender" before them when asked onboard Air Force One what he is expecting from Tehran.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said "unconditional surrender... It's where they cry uncle or where they can't fight any longer and there's nobody around to cry uncle." In another statement, the US President said that he's not looking to settle the war right now even if Iranians want it. Responding to what the US has achieved so far in this war, Donald Trump said, "We've accomplished more in one week than anyone thought possible. We've wiped out their navy — 44 ships. We've wiped out their air force — every plane. We've wiped out most of their missiles... We've hurt them where it hurts."
"We're winning the war by a lot. We've decimated their whole evil empire. It'll continue, I'm sure, for a little while — but I'm very proud of the people. The parents were so proud," Trump said.
Speaking about Trump's nuclear program, Trump said, "They said, 'We have the inalienable right to enrich.' They bragged about having 60% enriched fuel — enough for 11 bombs. They told me and 'We're not going to give you diplomatically what you couldn't take militarily.'"
Hitting out at Iran after it accused US of desalinization a water treatment plant, Trump said, "They are among the most evil people ever on Earth. They cut babies' heads off. They chop women in half... I know nothing about a desalinization plant other than to say if they're complaining about a desalinization plant, we complain about the fact that they shouldn't be chopping babies' heads off."
