Tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran are nearing a critical point as President Trump warns that an Israeli strike on Iran "could very well happen," while still expressing hopes for a peaceful resolution over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
The comments follow the IAEA’s declaration that Iran has violated its non-proliferation commitments, prompting Tehran to announce plans to expand uranium enrichment.
Meanwhile, U.S. and Iranian officials are set to meet in Oman for a sixth round of nuclear talks amid concerns that Israel may act unilaterally. Trump revealed that U.S. personnel are being withdrawn from the region due to security risks, raising fears of a looming military confrontation. While Trump seeks to avoid conflict, he also warned that Tehran must make more concessions or face possible military action. The mounting tension has already affected global markets, with oil prices surging and European stocks falling. Iran vowed to rebuild any nuclear site destroyed in an attack and warned of severe retaliation, as both sides brace for a possible escalation.
