“I don’t see them getting back involved in the nuclear business anymore. I think they’ve had it. They’ve been at it for 20 years, and I don’t see that happening either.”

President Donald Trump spoke to press at the NATO summit from The Hague in the Netherlands on Wednesday, telling reporters that he did not think restarting negotiations with Iran was necessary since the “war is done.”

Trump celebrated the missile strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling it “obliteration.” He said that “no other military on Earth could have done it” and it was an “incredible exercise of American strength” that has “paved the way for peace with a historic ceasefire agreement.”

He said that he believes the 12 Day War is “over,” and added “I don’t think they’re going to be going back at each other.” He noted a letter that stated Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities were rendered “totally inoperable” during the strikes, and that the strikes “set back Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come.”

Trump was asked what made him “so confident” that the conflict between Israel and Iran was over, to which Trump replied, “they’re both tired, exhausted. They both fought very, very hard and very viciously, very violently, and they were both satisfied to go home and get out.”

“Can it start again? I guess someday it can. It could maybe start again soon. I think a big telltale sign was when, as you know, Iran, somewhat but not much, violated the ceasefire. And Israel had the planes going out that morning, and there were a lot of them, 52 of them. And I said, you got to get them back, and they brought them back. They didn’t do anything.”

He said of Iran, “I don’t see them getting back involved in the nuclear business anymore. I think they’ve had it. They’ve been at it for 20 years, and I don’t see that happening either.”
