U.S. President Donald Trump issued a new threat to Iran on Thursday, suggesting he might order further strikes in the country. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump indicated that while he prefers not to "destroy the rest of the country," he "may have to do it" and that "you will know very soon." This comes a day after he stated he had no immediate plans to attack Iran.
Trump also addressed reports about Iran exploring proposals, asserting that "they can't do anything without our approval" and that "they simply will not have nuclear weapons." His remarks coincide with Israel's preparations for a potential renewed confrontation with Iran, with defense officials reportedly readying for possible military action in the coming months. Discussions in Washington on how to handle Tehran are ongoing.
During the conversation, Trump noted that no American soldiers have been killed in Iran in the past seven months. He claimed the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz and that oil transit through it is currently greater than before the recent conflict. He estimated that if Iran were to rebuild, the process could take 20 to 30 years, and described the U.S. activity in the country as "a kind of occupation."
Looking ahead, Trump hinted at "some big things" coming in the next week or two, without explicitly linking them to an attack on Iran. He also discussed efforts to end the war in Ukraine, following a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump predicted a "big and beautiful" agreement that would involve more than just Ukraine, potentially encompassing all of Europe, ahead of further talks scheduled in Abu Dhabi next week.
The president also commented on the limited U.S. strikes on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing efforts to reach agreements with Iran on its nuclear program and the Strait. He praised Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for his "fantastic job," particularly his management of the U.S. operation in Venezuela.
