According to a report by Sky News on Thursday, April 02, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump has asserted that the United States holds the upper hand in the ongoing conflict with Iran, emphasizing Washington’s control in both negotiations and military operations.
In remarks delivered this week, Trump stated that regime change in Iran was not the original U.S. objective, but added that it has effectively occurred because “all of Iran’s leaders are dead.”
The president expressed a preference for reaching an agreement with Iranian authorities but issued a stark warning should talks fail. “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard,” he said, signaling potential military escalation if diplomacy does not succeed.
Trump underlined America’s negotiating advantage, declaring, “We have all the cards. They have none.” He framed the current phase of the conflict as approaching completion, claiming U.S. forces have significantly weakened Iran’s military capabilities, including its naval, air, and nuclear infrastructure. The president indicated that strikes could intensify over the next two to three weeks while pressing Tehran to reach terms and reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also acknowledged rising global fuel prices, attributing the increases to attacks on commercial oil shipping in the region.
While emphasizing a willingness to negotiate, he made clear that further military action remains an option if diplomacy fails. This includes targeting critical infrastructure to reinforce U.S. leverage in achieving a favorable settlement.
The president’s statements reflect a dual strategy of negotiation underpinned by military threat, highlighting both the strength of the U.S. position and the uncertainty surrounding how the conflict will ultimately be resolved.
