USA Trump's Fiery Warning: US Ready to Hit Iran’s Nuke Sites Again

[webfact]

 

Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, asserting that the US could target the country's nuclear facilities once more "if necessary." Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, swiftly declared that US strikes in June had severely damaged their nuclear sites. Despite this, Araghchi maintained that Iran would not abandon its nuclear enrichment programme, citing national pride.

 

Trump doubled down on Araghchi's comments via his Truth Social platform, boasting about the damage inflicted on the Iranian sites and reaffirming America's readiness to act. The US strikes on 22 June targeted key Iranian nuclear locations—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—amidst a 12-day conflict involving Israel.

 

Although Trump claimed these actions obliterated Iran's nuclear capability, a US intelligence report later suggested the programme was only briefly delayed, sparking a firm rebuttal from the White House.

 

Further adding to the tension, Iran announced upcoming talks with European nations on its nuclear programme. Scheduled for Friday in Istanbul, these discussions will involve the E3 nations—the UK, France, and Germany—and the European Union's foreign policy chief. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, indicated that lifting sanctions and peaceful nuclear matters will be the primary focus.

 

The backdrop to these developments is the faltering 2015 nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which imposed strict limits on Iran’s nuclear activities in return for easing sanctions.

 

The deal has been unravelling since the US withdrew in 2018, and Iran has since increased its uranium enrichment to levels alarmingly close to weapons-grade. European nations have threatened to trigger the deal's "snapback" mechanism, potentially reinstating sanctions if Iran fails to comply.

 

Despite global concern, Iran steadfastly denies ambitions for nuclear weapons, asserting its nuclear ambitions are purely civilian. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) continues to monitor the situation, but as tensions simmer, the potential for escalation remains.

 

The unfolding saga not only highlights the fragile state of Middle Eastern geopolitics but also underscores the delicate balance of international diplomacy. The stakes are high, with both Iran and global powers navigating a complex web of strategic interests and national pride, while the spectre of renewed conflict looms on the horizon.

Good idea!

[MicroB]

A busted flush. US has revealed the capabilities of a new weapons system. This has moved closer to a tactical nuclear strike by the United States.

[Nickcage49]

He's doing what past administrations did that HE criticized. He's telegraphing his moves. 

 

Just do it!

 

I'm sure they are in the process of moving everything again.

It's just every possible way trying to deflect from Epstein fiasco. There will be a lot more "shocks" from him in attempt to bury his closet skeletons... Doubt they'd achieve their goal.

[JAG]

Brilliant move - tell them you are coming back to have another go.

 

There are several nations that may well be prepared to provide an air defence equipment which can engage attacking aircraft, if only to show the US that it cannot roam the world's skies dropping bombs on anyone and anywhere it fancies.

And with Congress out until after Labor Day he has it all to himself, the POTUS reality show.  

In the language of the area of Queens, NYC where he was born, he's "sh_tting bricks."   Probably thinking "yeah, they liked it when I bombed Iran, I'll do that again."  He ain't gonna outrun this child molester rap, the fool doesn't realize how obvious he's been since Elon struck the blow.

Master of changing subjects when confronted with damning info (ie Epstein drama). Wanna play with fire? Go ahead make your day😂😂😂.  So much for a peacemaker and Nobel prize candidate. Foolish. 

[spidermike007]

The Epstein scandal is driving him crazy, he's looking for a distraction, for anything possible to distract his supporters, and he's flailing badly at this point.

 

The first strike seems to have failed, and somehow he thinks he can get it right this time, which I doubt.

"No more war" Trump is threatening Iran with war again. This man child has escalate the tension in the middle-east. His inaugural speech to "stop all wars ' was another unfulfilled pledges like ending UKraine and Gaza wars. Trump can't even bring egg prices down. That kind of incompetence stretched to foreign policies. 

[Chomper Higgot]

I thought Trump claimed that Iran’s nuclear facilities had been totally destroyed by the last attack?

US Ready to Hit Iran’s Nuke Sites Again

 

In other words, previous Billion dollars operation failed?

 

Result  of too much downsizing of US administration recently done by Trump and Mask?

Not likely. Russia cannot spare any equipment. China isn't going to provoke the USA. So who does that leave? The iranians cannot take a leak without the the 5 eyes and Israel knowing when, where and whether they did it standing up or sitting down.
