Trump Threatens Iran with Military Action if Nuclear Deal Fails

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran from the White House Oval Office, stating that the United States is either close to securing a nuclear agreement or will complete its mission by other means. Trump emphasized, "Either we get a deal, or we finish the mission," underscoring his preference for a diplomatic resolution to avoid harming Iran's 91 million citizens.

Trump detailed the extensive U.S. military pressure on Iran, claiming the destruction of 159 Iranian ships, elimination of their radar capabilities, and a naval blockade that prevented any ship passage for two months. He also threatened to disable Iran's energy infrastructure swiftly, stating, "We can shut down their power plants in a fraction of an afternoon."

In parallel, Trump confirmed he had contacted FIFA to review the suspension of a U.S. World Cup player, asserting his intervention was merely a request for reconsideration due to his sports knowledge and suspicion about the referee's decision.

Meanwhile, Iran held the funeral of its former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei amid large banners calling for Trump's assassination, including a $100 million bounty. Iranian military spokesman Mohammad Akhremi-Nia declared that Iran used a ceasefire period to enhance its combat capabilities and remains fully prepared.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant responded sharply, claiming Israel was responsible for Khamenei's death and warning that any Iranian leader pursuing Israel's destruction would be similarly targeted. Gallant condemned the "Death to Trump" chants at the funeral as revealing the true nature of the Iranian regime beyond its diplomatic facade.
