President Trump delivered a stark ultimatum to Iran during a White House Cabinet meeting Thursday, demanding they abandon nuclear ambitions or face ongoing U.S. attacks. The warning comes as diplomatic talks continue, though Iranian officials have called American proposals unfair.
WASHINGTON – During a Thursday Cabinet meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump delivered a stark ultimatum to Iran, demanding the nation either reach an agreement to halt U.S. and Israeli military strikes or prepare for continued attacks.
Speaking to reporters, Trump outlined what he sees as Iran’s options. “They now have the chance, that is Iran, to permanently abandon their nuclear ambitions and to join a new path forward,” the president stated. “We’ll see if they want to do it. If they don’t, we’re their worst nightmare. In the meantime, we’ll just keep blowing them away.”
The president’s remarks came on the same day that a high-ranking Iranian official criticized Washington’s peace proposal to Reuters, calling it “one-sided and unfair” while confirming that diplomatic efforts remain ongoing after nearly four weeks of conflict.
According to Trump, Iranian representatives are currently in discussions with the United States and are eager to reach an agreement – claims that Tehran has previously rejected.
The president praised Iranian leaders as skilled in negotiations while outlining his goals for any potential agreement: reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending Tehran’s military activities.
However, Trump expressed uncertainty about whether negotiations would succeed. “I don’t know if we’ll be able to do that,” he admitted when discussing the possibility of reaching a deal. “I don’t know if we’re willing to do that.”
