Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated in recent remarks that if the Islamic Republic of Iran does not halt the development of its nuclear weapons program, military action will be a serious option on the table. He emphasized that Israel would play a leading role in any such attack.
Trump said: “If military action is needed, we will deploy our forces. Israel will obviously be involved. They will take the lead. Of course, no one directs us—we do whatever we choose.”
These comments come as U.S. and Iranian officials are scheduled to hold talks in Oman on Saturday. Trump described the talks as “direct,” while Iran has referred to them as “indirect.”
Amid growing concerns in Washington over Tehran’s progress toward nuclear weapons capability, Trump, despite his aggressive tone, stressed that there is no fixed timeline set for the negotiations.
Trump’s recent statements have sparked widespread reaction in international media and are seen as a sign of escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran—particularly at a time when the future of nuclear negotiations remains uncertain.
