Donald Trump held a press conference “with the military” at the White House on Monday, April 6. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Americans and Iranians are negotiating and trying to find a solution to the conflict.
Iran has until Tuesday 8 p.m. (American time). During his press conference at the White House on Monday, April 6, after inaugurating the Easter egg hunt, Donald Trump reiterated his ultimatum. Behind the scenes, Americans and Iranians are negotiating and trying to find a solution to the conflict.
L’Iran “peut tomber en une nuit”
Donald Trump began his press conference by declaring that Iran “could fall in one night, maybe even tomorrow.”
The American president set a deadline for Tuesday night before bombing energy infrastructure in Iran. In the absence of an agreement with Tehran by Tuesday at 8 p.m. (Washington time), Donald Trump threatened to destroy “all bridges” and “set power plants on fire.” However, he “hopes” not to have to do so.
For the President of the United States, the “reopening of the Strait of Hormuz” remains “a top priority.” He also lamented the lack of support from Western allies, saying he is “very disappointed with NATO.”
Le second pilote américain “sévèrement blessé”
“He was severely injured,” says the American president regarding the pilot rescued by the US military in Iran on Sunday. “Despite his injuries, he managed to contact his colleagues,” detailed Donald Trump. “He managed to climb a 2,000-meter mountain,” added the US president.
“The heroic officer of the F15-E evaded capture for 48 hours, which is a long time when you are injured and bleeding,” praised Donald Trump.
“Plus de 150 avions déployés” pour secourir le second pilote
The American president described the military operations to assist the second pilot, stating that “thousands of soldiers were searching for the officer.” Donald Trump explained that to create confusion among the Iranians, seven different orders were issued: “more than 150 planes of all types were sent.”
A first operation was launched to rescue him, but it failed. “We had two C-130 planes on the ground, but they had problems due to mud on the runway,” explained the American leader. “We had to destroy our planes.” A “plan B” was then launched with “lighter aircraft and helicopters capable of landing on the sand.”
“In addition to the human and technical resources mobilized by the president to find our airmen, the CIA conducted a diversion operation to sow unrest among the Iranians who were relentlessly tracking them,” said John Ratcliffe, director of the CIA.
Defense Minister Pete Hegseth estimated that the Iranian military “feels humiliated” after this rescue.
Il affirme qu’une “taupe a prévenu” les Iraniens de la présence d’un second pilote américain
The American president claimed that the Islamic Republic launched a search for the second American pilot because “a mole warned Iran.”
“We need to find the person who leaked this operation, it’s someone sick, it’s a national security matter,” he added.
Donald Trump threatened an American media outlet, which he did not name, with prison after these leaks. According to him, the Iranians “did not know someone was missing until the information was leaked.” He demands that the informant’s identity be revealed.
“Le peuple iranien doit se soulever”
According to the American president, “the Iranians are begging me to continue” the bombings. He adds that they are “ready to suffer for freedom” and overthrow the Revolutionary Guards. He claims that the US intercepted numerous messages from Iranians saying “continue bombing.”
Donald Trump asserts that the Iranians have endured their leaders’ repression for too long and encourages them to rise up. “I think they should do it,” he finally stated.
