Trump Says Destroying Iran Would Bring World Peace

US President Donald Trump said he could intensify military operations against Iran rather than end the war if no agreement satisfactory to him is reached.

Trump framed the destruction of Iran as a means of achieving world peace, while leaving open the possibility of further military action.

He indicated that an escalation could come after the congressional midterm elections scheduled for November, making the post-election period a possible window for that decision.

His remarks presented escalation as a conditional option rather than an announced decision. The prospect of an agreement he finds acceptable remained central to whether he would choose to intensify operations.
