I am fully aware that my representatives are having very positive discussions with the country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He described the planned operation as a \u201chumanitarian process\u201d to help the crews of ships stuck in the Gulf by Iran\u2019s closure of the strait and a US naval blockade. <\/p>\n<p>Trump said that \u201cIf, in any way, this process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, President Trump said he had reviewed and rejected Iran\u2019s latest peace proposal, saying it was \u201cnot acceptable\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Human rights groups inside Iran have accused the regime of carrying out widespread torture and execution.
