Trump Raises Prospect of Renewed 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 a magazine interview, Trump suggested that crushing Iran could bring about world peace. His remarks signaled the possibility of further military action rather than announcing a decision to launch new strikes.

Iran’s president, meanwhile, reaffirmed his country’s commitment to negotiations, maintaining Tehran’s stated preference for a diplomatic path amid the US threats.

The contrasting positions highlight the tension between Washington’s military pressure and Tehran’s insistence on talks, with the nuclear dispute remaining central to any diplomatic progress.
