President Donald Trump warned that military action against Iran is “absolutely” possible if new nuclear talks fail. He said Israel would lead any strike to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. The talks start Saturday in Oman, but Iran says they’re indirect.
Trump made it clear Iran can’t have nukes. “If it requires military action, we’re going to have military,” he said. He praised Israel’s role, saying they’d take charge while America keeps control. This comes after Trump tore up Obama’s “weak” 2015 nuclear deal, calling it a disaster.
Iran claims it doesn’t want nuclear bombs but keeps enriching uranium. Trump’s team demands Iran dismantle its nuclear program completely. Obama’s deal left facilities intact, but Trump wants total shutdowns. Sanctions hit Iran’s economy hard, pushing them to negotiate.
Israel’s Prime Minister backs Trump’s tough line. He compared the plan to Libya giving up nukes in 2003. Critics say Trump’s timeline is rushed, but supporters argue weakness invites danger. The threat of force shows America’s strength, they say.
Iran’s leaders call Trump untrustworthy after he ditched the last deal. Their foreign minister says talks are a test for America. Meanwhile, Iran’s economy crumbles under sanctions. Protests against the regime grow as people demand change.
Regional tensions are high. Iran attacks ships and funds terrorists, but Trump’s strikes on Houthi rebels weakened their allies. Israel destroyed Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, showing Iran’s proxies are vulnerable. Strength works, supporters argue.
Experts warn Iran’s nuclear program is advanced. Enriched uranium stocks could soon reach weapons-grade. Trump’s envoy, a real estate friend, faces skepticism. But Trump says only toughness gets results. “We’re not dealing with Obama anymore,” allies cheer.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Talks start Saturday, but Trump’s deadline looms. If Iran refuses, military action led by Israel could follow. For Trump, preventing nukes justifies all measures. “Iran’s in great danger if they don’t listen,” he warned.
