Trump Urges Iran Nuclear Deal Amid Rising Israel Tensions

President Donald Trump has put the Iran nuclear issue back in the global spotlight, voicing strong confidence that Tehran will eventually sign a new nuclear deal with the United States. His remarks come at a time of heightened tension in the Middle East, with ongoing missile exchanges between Israel and Iran, and growing uncertainty about the future of nuclear diplomacy.

Trump’s Statements at the G7 Summit

On Monday, during the G7 summit in Canada, Trump addressed reporters and world leaders about the ongoing crisis. He expressed his belief that Iran would eventually agree to a deal, but also warned that the U.S. would take action if Tehran continues to refuse.

“I think a deal will be signed, or something will happen. But a deal will be signed. And I think Iran is foolish not to sign one,” Trump said, reinforcing his belief that Iran will have to come to the table.

Trump added, “As soon as I leave here, we’re going to be doing something. But I have to leave here,” leaving many to wonder what specific actions the U.S. might take after the summit.

Heightened Tensions: Israel-Iran Conflict

Trump’s comments come as Israel and Iran have entered their fifth consecutive day of mutual missile strikes. Both sides have escalated their attacks, targeting military sites and infrastructure. The conflict has raised fears of a broader regional war and has put additional pressure on the United States to clarify its position.

Despite repeated questions from reporters, Trump has refused to say whether the United States would offer military support to Israel in any direct action against Iran’s nuclear program. However, he has praised Israel’s military operations, noting that the Israeli Defense Forces use U.S.-supplied weapons.

U.S. Diplomacy and Military Options

Behind the scenes, Trump’s administration is considering both diplomatic and military responses. There are ongoing discussions with European allies and other partners about how to bring Iran back to the negotiating table. Some sources suggest that a meeting between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi could take place soon, with the goal of restarting talks on a new nuclear agreement and possibly brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Trump’s patience with the diplomatic process appears to be wearing thin. In recent days, he has adopted a more confrontational tone, warning Iran that the United States will not allow it to develop nuclear weapons under any circumstances.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote:

“Iran should have accepted the ‘deal’ I advised them to agree to. It’s a pity and a waste of human lives. To put it plainly, IRAN MUST NOT POSSESS A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I have reiterated this time and again! Everyone should evacuate Tehran immediately!”

Early Departure from G7 and Global Reactions

The White House has confirmed that Trump will leave the G7 summit in the Canadian Rockies a day earlier than planned, citing the need to address the escalating Middle East situation. He is expected to meet with his National Security Council soon after his return to Washington to discuss possible responses to the Iran-Israel conflict.

French President Emmanuel Macron commented on Trump’s early departure, saying, “An offer has been made, particularly for a ceasefire and to commence broader discussions. I believe this is a positive development. Now, we need to observe the actions of the involved parties.”

Internationally, European leaders have called for restraint and a return to diplomacy, while Russia and China have urged both sides to avoid escalation. The United Nations has expressed concern about the humanitarian impact of the conflict and the risk of a wider war.

Security, Military, and Strategic Considerations

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for U.S. support in dismantling Iran’s nuclear facilities. There are reports that the United States is considering a range of options, including military strikes against key Iranian sites such as the underground Fordo enrichment facility.

Trump has also claimed that the United States has “complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” raising questions about the extent of American involvement in the ongoing conflict. While the president continues to insist that the U.S. is not directly participating in Israeli strikes, his public praise for Israel’s military actions and his warnings to Iran have added to the sense of uncertainty.

One senior administration official, speaking anonymously, said:

“The president wants to keep all options on the table. He believes that showing strength is the best way to bring Iran to the negotiating table, but he also knows that any military action carries risks.”

Iran’s Response and the Path Forward

Inside Iran, officials have responded to Trump’s remarks with defiance. Iranian leaders have accused the United States of intimidation and have vowed to continue their nuclear program unless sanctions are lifted and security guarantees are provided. The Iranian foreign ministry has called Trump’s warnings “empty threats” and insisted that Iran will not be bullied into signing a deal that does not respect its sovereignty.

Despite the tough rhetoric, there are signs that diplomacy is not completely dead. Some analysts believe that Trump’s public statements are intended to pressure Iran into making concessions, while behind the scenes, U.S. and European diplomats are working to find a solution that allows all sides to save face. The possibility of a temporary ceasefire or a limited agreement on nuclear inspections is being discussed as a way to de-escalate the crisis and buy time for further negotiations.

Conclusion: Uncertain Days Ahead

As the G7 summit ends, all eyes are on President Trump’s next move. Will he follow through on his warnings and take decisive action against Iran, or will he continue to push for a diplomatic solution? The answer may depend on developments in the coming days, as the situation in the Middle East remains volatile and unpredictable.

For now, President Trump’s message is clear: the United States will not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran, and he is prepared to use all tools at his disposal to prevent it. As he put it during his meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer:

“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It’s very simple—you don’t have to go too deep into it. They just can’t have a nuclear weapon.”

With tensions running high and the world watching, the next steps in the Iran nuclear saga will have far-reaching consequences for regional stability, international security, and the legacy of President Trump’s foreign policy.
