Donald Trump, the President of the United States, continued his threats against Iran during a press conference at the White House and announced that he will decide "soon" on the possibility of resuming military attacks against this country. These remarks came after Trump's meeting with his national security advisors and indicate an increase in tensions in the relations between the two countries.
Continuation of Trump's Threats
In this discussion, Trump referred to the continuation of military operations against Iran and stated, "Do we want to continue the advance in attacks and ensure that Iran's nuclear program is completely destroyed and will never be revived?" He explicitly spoke about the possibility of destroying Iran. He also added: "If possible, I would prefer not to destroy the rest of the country, but I may be forced to do so. You will find out soon." Trump's remarks clearly indicate that he is taking the decision-making about the future of U.S. military policies towards Iran very seriously.

Increased Military Preparedness
In this context, Axios news website reported, citing an American official, that the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is increasing its readiness for the possibility of resuming large-scale military operations against Iran. However, this official emphasized that no new orders have yet been received from Washington. This situation reflects concerns about escalating tensions in the region and the possibility of intensified conflicts.
Trump also stated that Washington has achieved all its objectives in Iran over the past seven months. However, he is well aware that continuing this path could have serious consequences for the region and the world. These policies are being adopted while Iran continues its nuclear programs and consistently emphasizes its rights in this regard.
Some analysts believe that Trump's statements could be interpreted as a threatening tone aimed at pressuring Iran, while others are concerned about the potential consequences of these policies on regional and global security. Especially since any military action could lead to further conflicts and have negative impacts on international relations.
