In a bold move that has electrified global headlines, U.S. President Donald Trump has dropped plans to lift sanctions on Iran while warning he might bomb Iran again if uranium enrichment exceeds worrisome levels. This dramatic announcement follows a 12-day conflict with Israel, during which U.S. bombing raids targeted Iranian nuclear sites.
During the heated exchange, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei fired back, claiming that Iran had "slapped America in the face" after an attack on a major U.S. base in Qatar, and vowed that Iran would never surrender. Tensions escalated further as both sides exchanged strong words.
Trump also revealed that he had spared Khamenei's life, denying an Israeli plan to target the Supreme Leader. His controversial social media post described Iran's nuclear facilities in stark terms, declaring that they were "OBLITERATED."
Amid the diplomatic showdown, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stressed that any potential nuclear deal would depend on the U.S. ending what he called a "disrespectful tone" toward the Supreme Leader, urging more respectful dialogue in pursuit of peace.
While Trump had been exploring the possibility of easing sanctions to aid Iran's recovery, those efforts have now been abandoned. As international stakes remain high, this unfolding story continues to shape debates on global security and diplomacy. ⚡️📰
