Trump Affirms Iran Cannot Build Nuclear Bomb After Israeli Airstrikes

U.S. President Donald Trump has firmly stated that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb and expressed hope that Tehran will return to the negotiation table to resolve tensions diplomatically. Trump confirmed that while the U.S. was aware of Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, the American military was not involved in the operation, which targeted key Iranian leaders and nuclear facilities. The strikes, described by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a decisive moment, resulted in the deaths of several senior Iranian officials, escalating fears of a wider regional conflict. Trump emphasized a preference for a peaceful resolution but warned that the risk of a major conflict remains, indicating that negotiations with Iran are close yet fragile. International reaction has been cautious, with calls for restraint and a return to diplomacy amid concerns over destabilization in the Middle East. The Trump administration supports strong inspection measures in any potential agreement with Iran, aiming for thorough verification rather than relying on trust alone.
