IRAN - Trump begins criticising Iran, accusing it of trying to tear down the region and funding bloodshed abroad. But, the president says, he is not here "merely to...
condemn the past chaos of Iran's leaders", but to offer them a "new path, and a much better path" towards a "more hopeful future". "I want to make a deal with Iran. If I can make a deal with Iran I will be very happy," Trump says. He says that if Iran's leadership rejects this "olive branch" and "continues to attack their neighbours then we will have no choice but to inflict massive maximum pressure", and drive Iranian oil exports to zero.
