Overview
- Standing together at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said he would back immediate action against Iran’s nuclear work and support strikes on its ballistic missile program if Tehran tries to reconstitute either.
- Trump claimed Iran may be shifting to different sites to rebuild, but acknowledged the reports are unconfirmed and urged Tehran to pursue a deal rather than risk a harsher response.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has labeled the confrontation a full-scale war, and senior adviser Ali Shamkhani vowed any aggression would trigger an immediate, severe response.
- Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons and has ruled out negotiations over its missile program, even as Israeli officials warn Iran is replenishing missile stocks.
- Trump pushed to move Gaza’s truce into its second phase by giving Hamas a short window to disarm and discussed a proposed international stabilization force whose membership and mandate remain unsettled.
