Donald Trump has warned that Iran could face military action if it continues pursuing nuclear weapons, claiming that Tehran would quickly target Israel if it obtained such capabilities.
Speaking to media representatives during a visit to the White House ballroom construction site, Trump stated that the international community cannot allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons. He said the concern is not whether Iran would use such weapons, but how quickly it would act after acquiring them.
According to Trump, Iran would target Israel first if it gained nuclear capability. He claimed that Israel’s security remains under serious threat and stressed that immediate action may be necessary to prevent further escalation in the region.
The US president also hinted at the possibility of launching a military strike against Iran within the next few days. Trump said action could potentially take place within “two to three days,” mentioning Friday, Saturday, or early next week as possible timelines.
Trump further revealed that he had been only one hour away from authorizing an attack on Iran earlier this week. However, he said the operation was postponed following requests from regional allies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates.
The remarks come amid rising tensions in the Middle East over Iran’s nuclear program and growing international concerns about regional stability. Analysts believe any direct military action could significantly impact global security and energy markets.
World leaders continue to monitor the situation closely as diplomatic efforts remain ongoing. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions continues to dominate international political discussions and security debates.
