US President Donald Trump has reiterated his threat to use military force against Iran if it doesn’t agree to end its nuclear program, citing Israel’s potential role in any future action. Trump believes Iran can’t be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon and warned that military intervention is possible if talks fail.
Trump made the comments during a press conference after signing executive orders in the Oval Office. He stated that Israel would lead any military operation against Iran and emphasized his determination to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear arsenal.
The US and Iran are set to hold direct talks on Saturday, with Trump warning that failure could put Iran in “great danger.” However, the two countries have differing views on the purpose of these negotiations. The US wants to curb Iran’s sensitive nuclear work, while Tehran claims its program is solely for civilian energy purposes.
Iran has rejected previous proposals from the West, which claim it seeks to develop a clandestine nuclear weapons capability. The US withdrew from the 2015 international nuclear deal with Iran in 2017 and reimposed sweeping sanctions, leading to increased tensions between the two nations.
