President Donald Trump told the New York Times he will resume American military strikes against Iran if nuclear negotiations do not produce a final deal. The statement, reported early Monday, escalates his public pressure on Tehran as talks continue.
President Donald Trump warned the New York Times in an interview published early Monday that he would resume American military strikes on Iran if nuclear negotiations fail to yield a final agreement. The comment, citing Trump directly, reaffirms his willingness to escalate military pressure after recent waves of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets over the past week. As The Zioneer reported over the past several days, Trump has repeatedly threatened — and followed through on — sustained daily strikes against Iran, shifting to a policy of bombing every night until a deal is reached. In the interview, Trump framed the renewed attacks as a direct consequence of stalled or collapsed talks, without specifying a timeline or scope for such operations. The statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts and follows Trump's earlier ultimatum on June 14 warning Tehran it would 'bear the blame' for any escalation. What remains unclear: whether this represents a new operational directive or a restated position.
