President Donald Trump told reporters Monday he has “the best plan ever” to end the war with Iran, again blasting an Iranian counterproposal as “simply unacceptable.”
“I have a plan — you know, it’s a very simple plan, I don’t know why you don’t say it like it is, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Speaking from behind the Resolute Desk, the president blasted Iran’s latest offer — which he called “a stupid proposal” — saying any agreement between the two nations would require Iran to pledge to stop pursuing a nuclear program.
“You know, in war, you have to change, you have to be flexible, you have a lot of plans, but you have to do different plans in different days,” Trump said.
“But I have a great plan — but the plan is they cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he added. “And they didn’t say that in their letter.”
