U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is open to meeting Iran’s leader while announcing new sanctions to block Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran on Tuesday (February 4), saying the country was dangerously close to acquiring a nuclear weapon. Speaking to reporters in Washington, Trump reiterated that his administration would not allow Iran to develop such capabilities and suggested serious consequences if it continued its nuclear ambitions.
"I would love to be able to make a great deal. A deal where you can get on with your lives," Trump said, addressing Iran. "They cannot have one thing. They cannot have a nuclear weapon, and if I think that they will have a nuclear weapon... I think that's going to be very unfortunate for them."
In a series of executive actions, Trump reinstated sanctions restricting Iranian oil sales and severed U.S. ties with the U.N. Human Rights Council and the Palestinian relief agency UNRWA. The measures mirror those imposed during his first term, when he withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, citing Iran’s alleged violations and regional destabilization efforts.
Washington has long accused Tehran of breaching nuclear restrictions and increasing uranium enrichment beyond permitted levels. The renewed sanctions aim to push Iran back to negotiations under stricter conditions. However, Tehran has not yet responded to the latest measures, and tensions remain high.
The decision comes amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to reshape U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. In addition to confronting Iran, Trump is actively engaged in ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, discussions on Saudi-Israel normalization, and addressing regional security concerns.
With renewed sanctions in place and diplomatic efforts underway, it remains unclear whether Iran will return to negotiations or escalate tensions further.
