U.S. President Donald Trump suggested the United States could take military action against Iran, saying Washington may "blow up" the country or alternatively reach a negotiated deal, as tensions between the two nations remain unresolved.
Trump insisted that the ongoing standoff between the U.S. and Iran would come to an end very soon, framing the outcome as a binary choice between a strike and a settlement, without specifying a timeline for either path.
Continued uncertainty
The remarks add to a period of heightened uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran relations, with Trump's comments leaving open both the possibility of direct military confrontation and renewed diplomatic engagement.
No further details were immediately available on what conditions might lead to a deal, or what specific actions might trigger a military response. The ambiguity in Trump's statement reflects the broader unpredictability that has characterized the standoff in recent months.
Observers are watching closely for further signals from Washington and Tehran as the situation continues to develop, with Trump's comments underscoring that a resolution, in one form or another, could be approaching.
