US President Donald Trump stated in an interview with NBC that he will not withdraw US troops from the Middle East, even if a permanent ceasefire with Iran is established. He emphasized that any new agreement with Iran would not lead to the immediate unfreezing of Tehran's assets affected by sanctions. Trump mentioned, 'That comes after... if they behave, if they do a good job, we start talking.' He also indicated that US military equipment would be utilized to remove and destroy Iran's nuclear material, stating, 'If we make a deal that now we’re friendly, we’ll all go together. It’ll be our equipment. We’ll take it out and destroy it, whether it’s on-site or whether we take it off-site.' He added that if no agreement is reached, military action would be taken against Iran. The ongoing conflict in Iran has now lasted for 100 days, with ceasefire negotiations continuing to face challenges. An Iranian lawmaker, Mohammadsaleh Jokar, commented that US military power has been 'deflated' during the conflict, suggesting that the global perception is that the US is unable to take military action.
