Trump Expects Iran To Surrender Amid Nuclear Tensions

President Donald Trump has stated that the United States is not currently seeking peace talks with Iran but instead expects Tehran to completely capitulate by giving up its nuclear weapons program. Trump emphasized that he wants a 'real end' to the nuclear issue, meaning Iran's full surrender rather than a ceasefire or partial agreement, and expressed skepticism about new negotiations, stating Iran should have accepted previous deals to save lives. While there may be potential talks involving U.S. officials like Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President JD Vance, Trump indicated that any decision on negotiations depends on developments after his return. Commentator Bill O’Reilly reported that Trump prefers avoiding immediate military action due to complications with China and Russia, instead anticipating that increased pressure and internal unrest in Iran might lead to the regime allowing UN inspections and dismantling its nuclear arsenal. However, if Iran refuses to cooperate, Trump is prepared to authorize military strikes, though he would need to secure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's support for any deal. Israeli strikes on Iranian territory have already escalated tensions amid the nuclear deadlock, and Trump predicted continued Israeli attacks in the near future.
