President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, threatening unprecedented military action if Tehran refuses to negotiate a new nuclear agreement with the United States. In an interview with NBC News, Trump emphasized that the U.S. prefers a diplomatic solution but is prepared to take significant measures to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
The U.S. has bolstered its military presence in the region, deploying B-2 stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, a British island in the Indian Ocean. This move is seen as a direct signal to Iran, highlighting the seriousness of the administration’s intentions.
In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has rejected direct negotiations under pressure but indicated openness to indirect talks through intermediaries such as Oman. Pezeshkian emphasized the need for the U.S. to demonstrate reliability, citing previous instances where agreements were not honored.
The escalating rhetoric has raised concerns among international observers about the potential for conflict. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has dismissed U.S. threats, stating that such tactics will not yield results.
