Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced in an interview with reporters at his residence in Florida that there are still one or two nuclear sites in Iran that the United States needs to address. These remarks came after a meeting last week at the White House with senior military commanders to discuss military options against Iran.

Position of the U.S. Secretary of State
Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, told reporters on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Atlanta that no decision had yet been made to attack Iran. He emphasized that the U.S. President prefers to resolve issues related to Iran through diplomacy. Rubio also noted that the United States is currently supporting its allies in the region against threats from Iran.
The Secretary of State warned about the threats from Iran, stating that if Iran acquires weapons of mass destruction, its threats against neighboring countries will significantly increase. He also referred to the attacks by the Islamic Republic's proxy forces in the Middle East, considering these attacks as a reminder of Iran's threat.
Donald Trump, in his ongoing discussions, emphasized that the United States has destroyed a significant portion of Iran's military capability, but still needs to address one or two targets in Iran. He assessed the negotiations with Iran positively and stressed the need to continue them.
Predictions and consequences
Speculation about the possibility of resuming military attacks against Iran has intensified as Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, has instructed senior military commanders to respond quickly and effectively to any potential threats. Trump had previously warned that a new military action might occur after the U.S. midterm elections.
These developments come as tensions in the region have sharply increased due to Iran's nuclear programs and the threats arising from them. It is expected that these issues will soon impact U.S. foreign policy and its interactions with Iran.
