3:53Now PlayingTrump Warns Iran Time Is Running Out, Keeping Strikes on the Table
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBloomberg's Nick Wadhams says that the US is still in 'wait and see mode' on the potential for a strike against Iran as President Trump warns Iran that a failure to restart nuclear talks could end in direct action. Wadhams says that its hard to rule anything out with this administration, since attacks on both Iran and Venezuela have 'rewrote the rules of the game' when it comes to foreign policy.
President Donald Trump warned Iran to make a nuclear deal with the US or face military strikes far worse than the attack he ordered last June, increasing pressure on the regime and propelling oil prices higher.
In a social-media post on Wednesday, Trump said the fleet of US ships he’d ordered to the region, led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, is “ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary.”
“Hopefully Iran will quickly ‘Come to the Table’ and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS - one that is good for all parties,” Trump wrote.
In response, Iran said it stands ready for dialogue based on mutual respect and interests but warned that “IF PUSHED, IT WILL DEFEND ITSELF AND RESPOND LIKE NEVER BEFORE,” the country’s mission to the United Nations said in a post on X. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a series of calls with top regional officials to discuss the escalating situation.
Trump has repeatedly warned Iran that the US might launch another attack, but those threats have recently been linked to Tehran’s deadly crackdown on protests rather than its atomic activities. The US leader has previously said Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated” in the strikes last June that targeted three facilities across the country.
