President Donald Trump has warned Iran that it will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.
This comes amid reports of Iran’s uranium upgrades and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) warning about Iran’s enrichment of near-bomb-grade uranium. Trump hinted at possible action against Iran.
The US has been monitoring Iran’s nuclear activities, and the IAEA has expressed concerns about Iran’s lack of transparency. The situation is critical, with tensions rising in the region. Trump’s statement on Friday suggests that action may be taken soon to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office on Friday, the US leader indicated, “There will be interesting days ahead,
“Iran was stone cold broke” during his first term and when he left office, “and now they have a lot of money.”
“We’re down to the final strokes on Iran. We’ll see what happens, but we’re down to the final moments. Can’t let them have nuclear weapons,” he vowed.
Trump contended that he would have made a deal with Iran within one month after the “rigged election of 2020,” criticising former President Joe Biden.
“They were all set to make a deal, and when I lost (slurs against Biden), they said, ‘Let’s not make a deal,’” he said.
“He (Biden) took the sanctions off; they became rich under Biden. They went from having no money to having $300 billion.
“We have a situation with Iran, and something’s going to happen very soon. You’ll be talking about that pretty soon, I guess.”
Trump further said that although he was hopeful about a peace deal with Iran, he was not speaking “out of strength or weakness.”
“I’d rather see a peace deal than the other, but the other will solve the problem,” he declared.
