Trump warns of possible extreme action against Iran in UN address

Washington — In a televised address, the President of the United States outlined the administration’s assessment of the diplomatic impasse with Iran, stating that a peace agreement could still be reached but warning that failure to secure a deal might compel the United States to consider “extreme” measures. The remarks came amid ongoing negotiations aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear program and followed recent reports of heightened rhetoric between the two governments.

The president highlighted the progress made in recent talks, noting that both sides have exchanged proposals on verification protocols and sanctions relief. He also referenced intelligence assessments indicating that Iran continues to advance certain capabilities that the United States deems destabilizing. While emphasizing a preference for diplomatic resolution, the speech underscored the administration’s readiness to employ a broader range of options, including heightened economic pressure or targeted military actions, should negotiations collapse.

The address concluded with a call for continued dialogue and urged the international community to support efforts toward a sustainable settlement, while reiterating that the United States will act decisively to protect its national security interests if a peaceful outcome proves unattainable.
