Iran Nuclear Program Trump's Warning
President Donald Trump has issued a direct warning to the Iran Nuclear Program, urging the country to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons or risk facing US military action.
Speaking alongside El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, Trump highlighted the significant threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions.
He stressed that:
"Iran is "fairly close" to developing a nuclear weapon and that military strikes remain an option if negotiations fail".
This warning follows a recent meeting in Oman between US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian officials.
Despite both parties describing the discussions as "constructive," Trump expressed skepticism about Iran’s commitment to ending its nuclear program.
He made it clear that the US would not tolerate any further progress on Iran’s nuclear capabilities, emphasizing that Iran must abandon the notion of developing atomic weapons entirely.
A second round of talks is scheduled for April 19 in Rome. Both sides aim to establish a framework for future negotiations.
This diplomatic engagement marks the first significant contact between the US and Iran since Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal.
Under that deal, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Trump’s decision to leave the deal raised tensions and the new talks are seen as a chance to resolve the ongoing issues surrounding Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran has also pursued further diplomatic discussions with Russia, which plays a key role in the handling of Iran’s nuclear material.
The country’s foreign minister will visit Russia to continue talks that could influence the outcome of the US-Iran negotiations.
The fate of these talks will determine whether Iran will continue its nuclear program or take steps toward de-escalation.
