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.

Attack Iran at your own peril, Donnie. We could be looking at a protracted 20-year war, with a nation which has deep pockets, and one of the most talented hacking crews in the world. Not to mention multiple proxy terror groups, which could rain down a horror show on US soil. 

 

For a goon who promised no new wars, he sure talks a tough game. I wonder how he would behave if he was faced with actual danger. And let's not even discuss the supposed "assassination attempt", with the super fast healing miracle ear.

He means blowing up their nuclear components.

 

Naturally, you couldn’t figure that one out.

 

I hope he does very soon.  Iran should never have nuclear weapons.

 

If you think they should, you are the problem.

He won't just destroy their uranium and missile facilities, he'll make the country so poor, including destroying the oil refineries, that the people will rise up and overthrow the tyrants. I doubt very much that there will be a kinetic war. The population isn't going to scream, "Let's protect the tyrants! Attack the USA! Die for the tyrants!"

Iran does not have deep pockets. It's own economy is in tatters and its people are  fed up with the  financial aid to other groups while Iranians suffer hardship at home. Iran relies on its oil  production to finance its activities. Take out the oil export facilities and Iran is stymied  for a few years and a regime change occurs. There are many social and poverty issues in iran and it can not afford to go to war.

 

Trump's bluster is to force the Iranians into  talks to avoid a war. if anyone wants to avoid a war, it is Trump. I think one of the reasons why Waltz got reassigned was that he was a hawk on iran, and  almost none of Trump's  advisers agreed with Waltz. The fact is that Trump's strategy has been paying off. His decision to inflict some pain on Yemen has  caused Yemen to stop targeting ships.  The Iranians  will only get one successful cyber hack, and if they are identified , they will get pounded into dust. The USA isn't playing around anymore and the Iranians know it.

🤣🤣🤣Again a proof of the "new order" in the WH! But I just had to laugh a little. He is not hiding anything under the table, is he! But one thing is sure...Iran is behind all the trouble in the Middle east! I would consider taking Trumps words seriously if I was the Immams of Iran! 😆😆😆

Not to worry, Trump is anti war as he touted himself and his ardent maga followers have full faith in his words.

A welcome change from sending the mad mullahs pallets of used banknotes isn't it. Nice to see a stick and stick approach rather than democrats kneepads and cash. #winning

By crushing those who want war stops future wars. I'm guessing this comment is a bit above your comprehension. The Houthis is an example. It seems they have capitulated. Of course the Houthis like Hamas and Hezbollah are Iranian backed.

Oh yeah. 

The IMF projects that 2024 will be the third consecutive year where Iran’s GDP outpaces that of the US, with Iranian national income expected to grow 12.1% between 2022-2024 compared to 6.1% in the US.  

 

Tehran has also seen record-high non-oil exports year after year during Biden’s presidency, with IMF figures showing Iran’s export of electricity and techno-engineering services surging from $67 billion in 2020 to $120 billion in 2023.

 

Recent figures by watchdog United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) found that since 2021, Iran sold a record $90 billion worth of US-sanctioned oil to countries like China and India. 

 

Without proper investments, the Iranian economy may not collapse in the way that the sanctions proponents desire, but it will be deprived of its full potential,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. 

 

Parsi added that sanctions typically impose maximum pain immediately after their imposition, “but after a while, the target economy adjusts and finds a new equilibrium. Iran has not been an exception.”
