LONDON: President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Tehran had sought talks with Washington but claimed it was “too late,” as the US pressed ahead with its military campaign against Iran.
“Their air defense, Air Force, Navy, and leadership is gone. They want to talk. I said ‘Too Late!’” Trump wrote on his Truth Social profile, responding to an opinion piece.
In a separate overnight post, Trump said the US had sufficient weapons stockpiled to sustain prolonged conflicts, describing a “virtually unlimited supply” of munitions.
“Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies,” he wrote, adding: “The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!!”
His remarks late Monday came as the conflict entered its fourth day following US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran on Saturday.
Earlier on Monday, speaking briefly ahead of a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House, Trump declined to specify how long operations against Tehran would continue, but said they had initially been projected to last four to five weeks.
“We’re already substantially ahead of our time projections. But whatever the time is, it’s OK. Whatever it takes,” he said.
