After threatening to take key Iranian energy installations, including Kharg Island, US President Donald Trump says that he is not convinced that Americans are willing to pay the price of taking the strategic site, The Times of Israel reports.
“We are talking to them, and all, but you know, look, my preference has always been — take Kharg Island,” he tells the “Fox and Friends” morning show.
“I don’t know that America has the stomach for it,” he acknowledges. Analysts say capturing the island would require putting thousands of ground troops in harm’s way.
“I think they’d like to see us come home,” Trump says of the American public.
Iran is “dying to make a deal” and “is being decimated,” the president says
“They’re really in submission,” he says. “They just don’t know it yet.”
