"Donald Trump has warned that Iran must come to the table to negotiate a deal over its nuclear programme or face the possibility of airstrikes and regime change, capping off a month of bellicose posturing and whiplash inducing u-turns from the US president. At the end of December, Trump suggested that Iran was building up weapons again, just six months after the US launched unprecedented strikes against the country's nuclear sites."
"Speaking beside Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida, Trump said if Iran was working to build up again we'll knock the hell out of them. But, hopefully, that's not happening. He added that the consequences of such a move would be more powerful than the last time."
"As the reported death toll in the protests soared into the hundreds, Trump was said to be weighing a response. Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!, the US president said on the Truth Social platform."
Donald Trump warned Iran to negotiate a deal over its nuclear programme or face airstrikes and potential regime change. The warning followed claims that Iran was rebuilding weapons capacity six months after US strikes on nuclear sites. Speaking beside Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said "we'll knock the hell out of them" and warned consequences could be more powerful than before. Iranian authorities called for renewed talks while protests inside Iran spread with a rising death toll. Trump signalled US readiness to help protesters, announced unimplemented tariffs on Iran-linked trade, and later cancelled planned meetings with Iranian officials.
