Trump: Possible to negotiate with Iran under certain conditions! U.S. Defense Secretary calls for "maximum intensity" strikes! Iranian Parliament Speaker: Absolutely not seeking a ceasefire

As the U.S. military increases its strikes against Iran, Trump sends the clearest signals yet for peace.

According to a report from Fox News on the 10th, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that negotiations with Iran could be possible under certain conditions.

When asked if he was willing to talk with Iranian leaders, Trump said, “I’ve heard they really want to negotiate.” “It’s possible, depending on the conditions, but only a possibility.”

Trump reiterated his dissatisfaction with Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, saying, “I don’t believe he can live peacefully.”

As Trump made these statements, Brent crude oil prices fell by 6.8%.

Meanwhile, according to Xinhua News Agency, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated on the 10th that the U.S. military would launch the “highest intensity” strike in its military operation against Iran that day.

At a press conference, Austin said, “Today will again be the day of the highest strike intensity inside Iran,” with U.S. forces deploying the largest number of fighters and bombers in this operation. Using intelligence described as “more precise and higher quality than ever before,” they will target Iranian sites. Austin also noted that in the past 24 hours, Iran’s missile launches have hit a new low.

Iranian Parliament Speaker: No pursuit of a ceasefire

According to earlier reports from CCTV News, on the 10th local time, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani stated on his personal social media that, “We are not seeking a ceasefire.” “We firmly believe that we must deliver a heavy blow to the aggressors, teach them a lesson, and prevent them from ever again contemplating invading Iran.”

Larijani said Israel’s existence is built on a cycle of “war-negotiation-ceasefire-war,” which consolidates its dominant position. “We will break this cycle.”

On the afternoon of the 10th, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement saying that “Operation ‘Real Commitment 4’” has officially been carried out.

In this operation, Iran used precision-guided missiles carrying over one ton of warheads to strike U.S. and Israeli military bases and related military support facilities.

Political pressure intensifies, Trump urged to exit early

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal on the 9th, several advisors privately urged President Trump to find a way to exit the Iran conflict quickly, fearing soaring oil prices and long-term conflict could trigger political backlash.

Sources familiar with the matter said that many advisors have urged Trump to come up with a concrete exit plan and demonstrate that U.S. military targets against Iran have been largely achieved. The surge in oil prices above $100 per barrel has made these advisors cautious, and some Republicans are beginning to worry about the upcoming midterm elections in November.

Economic advisor Stephen Moul said, “When gasoline and oil prices go up, everything else follows. When affordability becomes an issue, it presents real challenges.”

Sources said that Trump’s team recently concluded that, given many Americans are feeling the pressure of rising fuel prices, they need a more aggressive propaganda campaign to persuade the public to support the war. Recent polls show that most Americans oppose this war.
