Trump demands Zelensky stop targeting diesel infrastructure in Russia

He added, "You must stop disrupting diesel fuel supplies in Russia."

Trump also linked the timing of the end of the war with Iran to the midterm elections, suggesting the conflict would stop either before them or right after they conclude, in an assessment that places the course of the war within a political timeframe without revealing details of a specific plan to end it.

Trump said that "the war with Iran will probably end either before the midterm elections or right after them," stressing that the United States will ultimately emerge from the conflict, at a time when attention is turning to opportunities for transitioning from military confrontation to the negotiating track.

The US president affirmed that Iran desperately wants to reach an agreement with the United States, adding that it wants to secure a deal "at any cost." However, he stressed in return that he will not agree to a deal he views as bad for Washington.

Trump reiterated his stance on the Iranian nuclear program, emphasizing that Tehran will not obtain a nuclear weapon and that the United States will not allow it to do so. He did not clarify the nature of the conditions the potential agreement is supposed to include, or whether direct or indirect contacts are taking place in preparation for negotiations.
