OK. And it won’t be tough to finish the job. I’d rather make a deal, because I don’t want to affect 91 million people,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.“We can knock down their bridges in one hour, we can knock out their energy supply... They don’t have any money now. We haven’t given them any money.”Trump spoke after Khamenei’s weekend funeral where, rather than looking weakened by the war that began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on February 28, Iranians appeared to be defiant, united and determined to shape what comes next.The 60-day ceasefire was intended by Washington to revive diplomacy on stopping Iran developing a nuclear arsenal.
