As Iran delivers its formal response to White House negotiation terms, President Donald Trump has dramatically escalated his rhetoric, warning that the U.S. is prepared to resume large-scale military strikes “at any moment.”
In an interview with U.S. media outlets on Sunday, Trump laid out aggressive new conditions for any potential deal, centered on the total liquidation of Iran’s nuclear program.
Space Force Tracking Buried Uranium
The President specifically addressed enriched uranium stockpiles reportedly buried underground following the “Midnight Hammer” bombing operation.
Trump asserted that the U.S. maintains constant surveillance on these sites.
“We will get it [the uranium] eventually; we are tracking it,” Trump stated.
“I established a unit called the Space Force, and they are tracking it. We have eyes on it every second. We will know the names of everyone who approaches. If anyone goes near those sites, we will know it and blow them up on the spot.”
Threat of Sustained Air Campaign
Trump dismissed Iran’s leverage in the current diplomatic standoff, suggesting that Tehran has “very few cards” left to play.
He warned that if Iran rejects the White House proposal, the U.S. military is prepared to launch a devastating new offensive.
“We can go back to bombing them at any moment,” Trump warned. “It would last at least two weeks, and we will bomb every target we feel like.”
Regional Implications
The President’s comments come as senior Israeli officials suggest that Hezbollah is currently refraining from retaliating against recent assassinations in Beirut to avoid sabotaging the U.S.-Iran negotiations.
However, Trump’s latest threats signal that the diplomatic window may be closing in favor of renewed kinetic action.
At the same time, Iran’s President Pezeshkian doubled down, saying, “We will never bow our heads before the enemy, and if talk of dialogue or negotiation arises, it does not mean surrender or retreat…”
