- President Trump threatened to "destroy the rest of the country" if necessary.
- Trump stated Iran will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.
- Developments regarding Iran are expected within the next one to two weeks.
- Iran has reportedly sent a new nuclear proposal to the U.S. through Qatar.

- U.S. and Israeli militaries had prepared for strikes on Iran, which Trump reportedly delayed.
U.S. President Donald Trump indicated on Thursday that military action against Iran remains a possibility, suggesting a decision on further escalation could come soon. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump stated, "I prefer not to destroy the rest of the country, but I may have to do it." He added that "many developments" are being prepared and "you will see many developments in the next week or two."
Trump reiterated his stance on Iran's nuclear program, asserting that any diplomatic proposals from Tehran are meaningless as long as the country pursues nuclear weapons. "It doesn't matter what proposal Iran is examining or not, it will not have nuclear weapons," he declared. He emphasized the need to decide whether to proceed with plans to prevent Iran from strengthening again, stating, "If we need to act again, we are prepared and ready."
This comes amid reports that Iran has conveyed a new nuclear proposal to the U.S. via Qatar, according to Reuters. A senior Iranian official confirmed Washington is reviewing the offer, but Tehran insists discussions will only commence after the U.S. meets seven demands, including the lifting of sanctions, unfreezing assets, and paying war reparations.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reported last month that U.S. and Israeli militaries had formulated plans for renewed strikes on Iran following the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. The report also indicated that Trump had, at the last minute, rejected an attack for which forces from both nations were already prepared.
