President Donald Trump said he is not keen on pursuing a deal with Iran, amid reports that the United States is preparing for the possibility of a large-scale military operation.
According to a report from NBC News, Trump and his national security team have discussed the possibility of resuming large-scale U.S. military operations against Iran in the coming weeks, a move that would mark a significant escalation if carried out.
The reported discussions suggest the administration is weighing military options rather than prioritizing a renewed diplomatic agreement with Tehran, though the report does not specify what would trigger a decision to proceed with any such action.
Any resumption of large-scale military operations against Iran would carry significant regional and geopolitical implications, given Iran's role in the broader Middle East and its past tensions with the United States and its allies.
Neither the White House nor Iranian officials have issued detailed public responses addressing the specifics of the NBC News report. The administration's broader approach toward Iran, including whether renewed negotiations remain under consideration, continues to be closely watched given the potential for rapid shifts in the situation.
