Trump declares victory over Iran’s nuke threat after cutting out ‘cancer,’ says Tehran ‘afraid’ to make deal

President Trump declared victory over Iran’s nuclear threat after boasting US and Israeli forces cut out the “cancer” – before going on to claim that the Islamic Republic is “afraid” of striking a deal.

“What we had to do is get rid of the cancer,” Trump told the National Republican Congressional Committee Wednesday. “We had to cut out the cancer. The cancer was Iran with a nuclear weapon. We’ve cut it out. Now we’re going to finish it off.”

Trump’s bullish remarks come just days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Iran had no ability to enrich uranium, vowing to crush Tehran’s nuclear program to “dust.”
