Trump discusses timeline for Iran negotiations, says Israel will lead military action
President Donald Trump recently made a statement indicating that military action led by Israel is a real possibility if Iran does not give up its nuclear weapons program. Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation, mentioning that there is a deadline in mind for when the two countries must reach an agreement. The U.S. and Iran are set to engage in negotiations in Oman, with the Trump administration keen on curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
During a press briefing at the Oval Office, President Trump reiterated his stance on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He emphasized the importance of acting swiftly, stating, “We have a little time, but we don’t have much time because we’re not going to let them have a nuclear weapon. We can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.” When asked about the possibility of military intervention if Iran fails to comply, Trump responded affirmatively, indicating that military action could be on the table.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed support for Iran’s complete denuclearization, drawing parallels to Libya’s decision to surrender its nuclear arsenal in 2003. Netanyahu underscored the necessity of ensuring that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, echoing Trump’s sentiments on the matter. The upcoming talks between the U.S. and Iran have been described as “direct” by President Trump, although Iranian officials have contested this characterization, labeling the discussions as “indirect.”
As tensions escalate and the deadline looms, the international community watches closely to see how the situation unfolds. The prospect of military action adds a layer of complexity to the negotiations, underscoring the high stakes involved in preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities. The outcome of the talks in Oman could have far-reaching implications for regional stability and global security.
