According to him, Americans are stronger now than they were before the operation.

The US used the ceasefire with Iran to rearm and is now stronger than before the operation. President Donald Trump said this in an interview with CNBC.

"The ceasefire, which I think was [a good idea] because we've completely rearmed. We have so much ammunition, we have so much stuff that we've become much more powerful than we were four or five weeks ago. So we used that to resupply," Trump said.

He said they should end up making a "great deal" because Iran has no choice. The U.S. has destroyed Iran's navy, air force and leaders, the American president noted.

The U.S. military is "ready to bomb Iran" if the agreement is not signed by the ceasefire deadline. Trump added that he does not want to extend the truce.
