Trump says US is 'crushing Iran currently, as we speak' US President Donald Trump said the United States is “crushing Iran currently, as we speak”, claiming that ongoing US attacks are forcing Tehran toward negotiations. “They’re being hit so harsh anybody would be negotiating,” Trump said while speaking in Miami, repeating assertions made in recent days that Iran is engaged in talks with Washington. Trump also alleged that Iranian officials denying negotiations were being untruthful, though he did not identify which officials or provide evidence of direct communication. “Remember this, they lied,” he said. “They’re begging to make a deal. Turned out I was right. They were negotiating.” He further claimed Iran had offered oil shipments as compensation for misleading statements, while Iranian officials have denied that any talks with the United States are taking place.
