President Donald Trump said he is prepared to pursue peace with Iran but warned that the United States would respond decisively to any threat against its cities. He stressed that while diplomacy remains his preferred path, his administration would never allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
Trump indicated that negotiations with Tehran are ongoing, though he suggested progress has stalled because Iran has not met key conditions required for an agreement. He underscored that any potential deal must fully address concerns about nuclear development.
His remarks come as Washington increases its naval presence in the Middle East, a move that has heightened regional tensions and drawn global attention. The combination of military positioning and diplomatic outreach signals a dual strategy of deterrence and negotiation.
