Trump Threatens Wipeout of Iran Nuclear Sites Amid Rising Tensions

President Donald Trump has issued stern warnings to Iran, threatening to swiftly destroy its nuclear program if Tehran resumes uranium enrichment, which Trump describes as a "line in the sand" that must not be crossed. These threats followed coordinated U.S. and Israeli military strikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, operations which disrupted ongoing nuclear negotiations and drew sharp condemnation from Iranian officials. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded by vowing a decisive and unmistakable retaliation if such attacks recur, emphasizing diplomacy over military action while asserting Iran's right to uranium enrichment for civilian purposes. Despite repeated Iranian denials of weaponization, Western analysts and some media figures express skepticism about the intelligence justifying these strikes, leading to debate over the legitimacy and consequences of U.S. and Israeli actions. Israeli officials have reinforced their readiness to respond forcefully to Iranian threats, with the understanding that U.S. approval is critical for any future Israeli strikes. The situation remains tense, balancing precariously between diplomatic efforts and the risk of further military escalation.
