President Trump said Wednesday that Iran will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons, and accused the regime of killing 52,000 of its own citizens, according to reports.
President Trump's latest statement on Iran, issued at 22:49 Jerusalem time, escalates his rhetoric on the nuclear issue and the regime's domestic record. Earlier Wednesday, at 19:11, The Zioneer reported that Trump said fallen US soldiers insisted Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons. Security analyst Yair Goldblatt, writing on X at 22:48, assessed that Trump is preparing the ground for escalation, citing the same claim of 52,000 regime killings and the nuclear stance. Trump's statement, delivered without specifying a venue, does not detail new policy steps. The remarks extend a series of bellicose declarations from the White House since late June, including multiple rounds of US strikes on Iranian military sites and threats to block the Strait of Hormuz. No immediate Iranian response has been reported.
