Trump Signals Readiness for Iran Deal While Issuing Stark Warning

Former U.S. President Donald Trump addressed ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine, stating that both Moscow and Kyiv are eager to conclude the conflict. He mentioned holding a "very good conversation" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and expressed optimism that a resolution is closer than many believe.

Regarding Iran, Trump clarified that he does not seek regime change but emphasized the importance of controlling enriched uranium. He suggested that the current Iranian leadership might be more rational than previous ones but issued a clear ultimatum: either reach a deal or face severe consequences. Trump claimed the U.S. has successfully maintained oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz without Iran's awareness and warned that he could disable all Iranian power stations by afternoon if necessary.

Trump concluded by stating his preference for a diplomatic agreement with Tehran but insisted that if no deal is reached, the U.S. would "finish the job," implying military or other forceful measures. His remarks highlight ongoing tensions and the delicate balance between diplomacy and coercion in U.S.-Iran relations.
