US President Donald Trump is considering new strikes on Iran, according to recent reports. The potential targets include Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites, possibly using the MOAB, or "mother of all bombs." However, Trump emphasized that these strikes would not involve nuclear weapons or ground troops. He reiterated his stance that Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon.
Trump also insisted that negotiations with Iran are ongoing. He claimed that the war will conclude "very soon" and that the other party has requested an end to hostilities. Trump stated that he would withdraw forces now, foreseeing the need to potentially re-engage within a year.
