Trump Says Iran Has “No Choice” Amid Nuclear Warning
US President Donald Trump made strong remarks on Iran during a Cabinet meeting, stating that Tehran remains keen on reaching a deal with Washington, though he indicated that negotiations have yet to satisfy the United States. Trump suggested that while diplomatic efforts are ongoing, alternative actions could remain on the table if talks fail to produce desired results.
Speaking on Iran's military and economic condition, Trump claimed that the country's naval and air capabilities had been significantly weakened and asserted that Iran was “negotiating on fumes.” He further described Iran’s economy as being in severe distress, citing soaring inflation, a weakened currency, and broader economic instability.
Reiterating Washington’s long-standing position on nuclear concerns, Trump stressed that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon,” adding that the issue extends beyond American interests and concerns global security. He also stated that the United States has received support from other countries regarding its stance on Iran.
The remarks come amid continued global attention on the future of US-Iran relations, nuclear negotiations, and broader geopolitical developments in the Middle East.
