Earlier this month, Trump sent a letter to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warning of consequences if Iran persists with its nuclear program, offering renewed talks but stressing that extended negotiations are not an option.
On Sunday, Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, stated that Iran must “hand over and give up” all aspects of its nuclear program, including missiles, weaponization, and uranium enrichment, “or they can face a whole series of other consequences.” He emphasized, “Iran has been offered a way out of this.”
Before sending Trump’s letter, the White House briefed key allies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE on its contents, seeking support for a potential diplomatic shift and preparing them for possible military action, according to U.S. officials.
President Donald Trump told reporters in early March that the U.S. might soon resort to military action against Iran’s nuclear program if no deal is reached. Using a golf metaphor, Trump said, “We’re down to final strokes with Iran. We’re at final moments. Can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.” He predicted “interesting days ahead” and added, “I’d rather do a peace deal than the other … but the other will solve the problem.”

Nukes are soo yesterday weapons. Be afraid of biological. Cheap, environmentally friendly, (the greens will love that), effective and no need to rebuild.
