Quote: "Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me. Regardless what happens, we win. We totally defeated that country."

Details: Trump once again claimed that the US has completely destroyed Iran's air force, navy and government.

According to the US president, Washington is currently working to ensure the free passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. He added that the US is doing so on behalf of those countries that are "either afraid or weak or cheap".

The president also criticised allies, stressing that NATO had provided the United States with no assistance whatsoever.

Background:

• An Iranian delegation led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf arrived in Pakistan's capital Islamabad yesterday for negotiations with the US.
