U.S. President Donald Trump on June 19 responded to criticism of a memorandum that Washington signed with Tehran to end the Iran war, saying that the Iranian regime is finished and doesn’t have much of a military left.

The memorandum included a provision that starts a 60-day negotiating clock to reach a final deal on the future of Iran’s controversial nuclear program. The Trump administration, in the memorandum and in public comments, left open the door to carry out more attacks if Iran does not comply.
