Trump may give Iran some time before resuming military action
Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State General Mark Kimmitt stated that Trump may follow through on his threats against Iran, and if Iran is unwilling to reach an agreement, the U.S. will resume the use of military force.
"I think Trump will give the Iranians a little time," Kimmitt told Al Jazeera.
Kimmitt said Iran presented a proposal today, but it was rejected by Trump. He believes it is better to wait for a few more proposals to be placed on the table before reaching any conclusions.
"The key issue he wants to see from the Iranians is a definitive date to start negotiations," Kimmitt said.
However, he added that if Iran continues to show reluctance to negotiate regarding its nuclear capabilities, Trump will ultimately say, "We are going back to war until they take it seriously."
Even so, the U.S. acknowledges that Iran still retains about 40% to 60% of its drone and missile capability, Kimmitt said, despite its air defense systems no longer being in existence.
This leaves Iran vulnerable to ongoing airstrikes, so if U.S.-Iran conflict resumes, "I think we will see a second chapter that will basically look very much like the first chapter we saw in March," Kimmitt said.
Trump is completely opposed to the idea of pausing Iran's nuclear development, stating that Iran must commit to never pursuing the path of developing nuclear weapons. This is his absolute red line and he considers it the cornerstone of his position.
