U.S. President Donald Trump announced he will soon make a decision regarding the potential resumption of war against Iran. The stated goal of this conflict, initiated in February with Israel, is to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. "Do we want to go further" with attacks so "something like this will never happen again?" Trump asked reporters at the White House. "I would rather not destroy the rest of the country, if possible, but I may have to," the president stated, adding that the public would "know soon enough." Iran had adopted a combative stance the day after the midterm elections, which saw a significant defeat for Trump's Republicans. "Attacking Iran does not bring victory," wrote Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai on X, asserting that Iran cannot be intimidated by threats. Trump, following a meeting with his security advisors, stated that the U.S. controls "everything we wanted to control" concerning Iran. "And now we will make a decision," he said. According to Axios, citing a U.S. official, the relevant U.S. regional command, Centcom, is preparing for a possible resumption of major hostilities in Iran, though no new orders have been received from Washington. While Trump contemplates his next move, mediators have recently visited Tehran multiple times for discussions. The U.S. President himself had recently spoken of potential negotiation successes in the conflict.
