Trump Demands Iran End Nuclear Program Amid Conflict

U.S. President Trump has rejected calls for a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, demanding instead that Iran abandon its nuclear program and emphasizing that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon. Following escalating Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets, Trump also called for the evacuation of Tehran, though the White House clarified this was not a literal directive. The G7 leaders have expressed support for Israel’s right to defend itself and condemned Iran as a destabilizing force. While Trump criticized Iran for not sealing a nuclear deal before recent hostilities, U.S. officials maintain that negotiations remain possible if Iran is willing. Iran, through Arab intermediaries, has indicated openness to ending hostilities and resuming nuclear talks if the U.S. refrains from joining attacks. The conflict continues with ongoing military exchanges, significant casualties, and international appeals for renewed diplomacy.
