Washington, DC – US President Donald Trump warned that military strikes could resume Thursday night if ongoing diplomatic efforts fail to produce an agreement that achieves the desired objectives, emphasizing that all options remain on the table.
In remarks made while monitoring regional developments, Trump explained that the US administration continues to assess the situation, noting that the window for negotiations remains open. However, he added that the time available to reach new understandings is shrinking as tensions and security challenges persist in the region.
He added that the United States prefers political and diplomatic solutions, but will not hesitate to take what he called “necessary measures” if negotiations falter or if American interests and those of its allies are directly threatened. He stressed that the primary objective is to achieve stability and prevent the situation from escalating into a wider confrontation.
These statements come at a time of intense international activity and contacts between various parties aimed at containing current tensions, amid fears that the collapse of the negotiation process could lead to renewed military operations and a further escalation in the coming days.
Observers believe that Trump’s statements reflect a continuation of the maximum pressure policy to force the parties involved to make concessions during negotiations, while regional and international capitals await the outcome of the ongoing contacts and whether they will succeed in averting a new round of military escalation.
