Trump Issues Stark Warning to Iran: 'We Can Blow Them Up Nicely or Viciously'

 

In a series of bold remarks, former President Donald Trump has doubled down on his vow to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, declaring that the United States will act decisively—whether through diplomacy or force.

 

Speaking to syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt on Wednesday, Trump emphasized his preference for a peaceful resolution, stating, “I would much prefer a strong, verified deal.” However, he made it clear that he is prepared to pursue alternative measures if diplomacy fails. “Well, we could actually blow ’em up. Blow ’em up, or just de-nuke ’em,” he said bluntly, referring to Iran’s nuclear facilities. “But there are only two alternatives, blow ’em up nicely or blow ’em up viciously.”

 

Trump famously withdrew the United States from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, calling it a flawed agreement that did little to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Since then, he has sought a revised deal that he says would ensure Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons. His administration has been quietly engaging in backchannel diplomacy to achieve this goal. Three rounds of indirect talks have reportedly taken place, facilitated by the government of Oman and involving Trump’s special Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff. A fourth round of talks, which was expected to take place in Rome over the weekend, was canceled due to “logistical reasons.”

 

On NBC News’ “Meet The Press” this past Sunday, Trump reiterated his hardline stance, insisting that the only acceptable outcome is the “total dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear program. “Otherwise,” he warned, “the world will be destroyed.”

 

Iran has consistently maintained that its nuclear program is intended for civilian purposes only. But skepticism remains high among U.S. officials and international allies, who fear that civilian infrastructure could quickly be repurposed for military use. “You know, civilian energy often leads to military wars,” Trump noted. “And we don’t want them to have a nuclear weapon.”

 

Vice President JD Vance echoed Trump’s sentiment during an appearance at the Munich Leaders Conference earlier the same day. Vance acknowledged the potential for a diplomatic breakthrough, stating, “There is a deal here that would really bring Iran into the global economy. That would be really good for the Iranian people, but would result in the complete cessation of any chance that they can get a nuclear weapon. That’s what we’re negotiating towards.”

 

He further clarified the administration’s stance, presenting a stark choice for Iran’s leadership. “As the President has said, that’s Option A and Option B — if Option A is very good for the Iranian people and even, you know, some of the folks, the leadership in Iran — option B is very bad. It’s very bad for everybody, and it’s not what we want, but it’s better than option C, which is Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That is what is completely off the table for the American administration. No ifs, ands, or buts.”

 

As the situation continues to develop, the world watches closely to see whether Iran and the U.S. can bridge their differences through diplomacy—or whether Trump’s warning of a more forceful path will become reality.

It depends. I worked with a Chinese colleague and, in my diplomatic way, asked him why everything we buy here from China is cra* and doesn't last. He was surprised and said he had no such problems with things he bought at home. I can only surmise that much of the goods imported into Thailand are cheap because Thais place cheap above quality, so they get what they pay for. And anyway, trying to buy anything that isn't made in China is like pi*sing in the wind, even western name brands like Sharp.

It is not about what China is selling but rather what Thai's are buying from China , we have the same problem in South Africa . Chinese nationals on the most part would not buy the c*ap the Thai's buy .

It's become epidemic but it's not new.

Look at any youtube video that mentions anything about Jews and that includes Israel because Israel is certainly about Jews, and you will ALWAYS find many comments that would give Hitler a woodie.

Also you will see that such Jew hate posts tend to get a massive amount of likes.

I'm not talking about subtle or borderline hatred either. 

This is a fact of life.

I wish it wasn't but it is.

Again it is NOT new.

Refer to the book -- Jews Don't Count.

This has exploded since October 7.

The majority of anti comments refer to Zionism rather than  Semitism or Jews . There is a big difference , Zionism is a political movement which conveniently hides behind Judaism , Jews have been known around the world to fight injustices , South Africa is an example , many Jews in the anti Apartheid movement .

Zionism is to Judaism what Hamas is to Palestinians , it is a cancer that needs to be removed.

Pattaya’s bustling Walking Street witnessed an unusual scene last night when an Israeli tourist was apprehended for causing disruption and stealing from a local convenience store. The man, whose identity remains confidential, admitted to having consumed cannabis beforehand, attributing his disorderly conduct to the stress induced by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, coupled with the effects of the drug.

 

The incident occurred on last night. The Pattaya Police were summoned to Walking Street in South Pattaya following reports of a foreign tourist causing a disturbance.

 

Upon arriving at the scene, they were met with the sight of the Israeli tourist, exhibiting disruptive behaviour and a lack of cooperation.

 

Witnesses to the scene reported that the man had caused damage to property along Walking Street. He was seen inexplicably striking several cars parked along the roadside.

 

Following this, he entered a convenience store, where he helped himself to food and drinks without making any attempt to pay for the items. This prompted the store manager to seek assistance from the Pattaya Police.

 

The police’s investigation led them to an unnamed hotel in Pattaya, where the Israeli national was a guest. Upon inquiring about the man, hotel staff revealed that he had been involved in previous disturbances there.

sounds like he had good reason not to want to meet you,
illegal worker, potential visa overstayer probably on the american absconding crim list like all the other refugees from that place

Careful with your generilisation John donut , I have so far not heard of a South African ( maybe through ignorance you think Africa is a country ) that has overstayed their visa . I for one was in Thailand for 2.5 years , just returned to my beautiful country , and never had one immigration problem in Thailand , no border runs , just good old legal visa backed up with sufficient funds .

After 15 years here thank you 

Make South Africa your home , lifestyle cheaper and almost anything goes , Crime is bad but that is everywhere . Beautiful people , beautiful country . You want a home , buy it , it's yours .

I know a Thai couple living in South Africa who had a baby . What happens there is the child is not immediately offered a citizenship but only a birth certificate . At the age of 18 the child has the right to apply for a South African passport and citizenship if it so wishes .
