Trump justified the US action against Iran, stating that he would not tolerate the escalation of threats or the compounding of unresolved issues. "As the President of the most extraordinary nation in history, I have no intention of allowing dangers to persist for another day," Trump declared. "I do not believe in allowing problems to fester until they become increasingly difficult to resolve."
Trump expressed dissatisfaction with ongoing Iran talks, leaving the door open for force as he asked Iran to be reasonable in the upcoming round of talks on the nuclear deal. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei responded by warning Trump, asserting that Iran possesses the capability to send a warship to the bottom of the sea.
The United States and Iran are scheduled to engage in a new round of nuclear talks in Geneva this week, according to the Swiss government.
