Trump Signals Possible Iran Strikes as Nuclear Issue Tops US Conditions

US President Donald Trump has raised the possibility of resuming military strikes on Iran after the midterm elections, with the nuclear issue at the forefront of Washington’s conditions.

In remarks to a magazine, Trump suggested that crushing Iran could bring about world peace. His comments signaled the prospect of further military action without announcing a decision to launch new strikes.

The reference to the midterm elections placed a potential resumption of attacks beyond that political milestone. No specific date for military action was given in the remarks.

Iran’s president, meanwhile, reaffirmed his country’s commitment to negotiations, emphasizing Tehran’s continued support for a diplomatic path.

The contrasting statements underscored the gap between Washington’s threat of force and Tehran’s stated preference for talks, with the nuclear issue remaining central to the dispute.
