Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Iran was two to three weeks from a nuclear bomb, with Israel as the first target. His comments came after the Pentagon ordered CENTCOM to prepare for renewed hostilities against Iran. No final decision has been made by Trump, and the directive lacks a specific deadline.

Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran was two to three weeks away from obtaining a nuclear weapon and would have used it quickly. He asserted that Israel would have been the first target, but cities in the United States and Europe were also in danger. Trump's remarks follow a recent Pentagon directive to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to finalize preparations for renewed significant hostilities against Iran. U.S. officials informed Axios that the directive does not include a specific deadline, and Trump has not yet made a final decision. The article also references an image of a nuclear site in Iran that was bombed, attributed to the IDF spokesperson.
