Donald Trump dissatisfied with Iran negotiations: Attack may occur

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have entered a new, dangerous phase following public declarations by President Donald Trump, who questioned the purpose of further nuclear negotiations. The American leader explicitly stated that the current regime in Iran will never receive permission to possess nuclear weapons, and that diplomatic efforts to date have not yielded satisfactory results. Trump suggested that the United States is considering a wide range of scenarios, including an intense Epic Fury operation. According to the president, intervention could take the form of a prolonged campaign aimed at taking control of the country or a short, two-day surgical strike that would paralyze key defense nodes. Information flowing from various capitals illustrates deep informational chaos. While the Foreign Minister of Oman, serving as the main mediator, announced a significant "breakthrough" in talks, the White House quickly distanced itself from these optimistic reports. High-ranking US officials cited by media emphasize that Tehran is not approaching dialogue seriously, treating diplomacy merely as a tool to buy time. In response to the growing risk of retaliation, the State Department ordered a partial evacuation of diplomatic posts, including embassy personnel in Israel. This move is interpreted by experts as preparation for direct armed confrontation, which could encompass up to twelve identified nuclear targets on Iranian territory. The US-Iran rivalry dates back to the Islamic Revolution of 1979, when diplomatic relations were severed after the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran. Since then, the two countries have been in a state of permanent tension, interrupted only by brief periods of de-escalation attempts, such as the 2015 JCPOA agreement. The internal dynamics within the Trump administration also indicate the predominance of hardline supporters. Media point to the growing role of Vice President J.D. Vance, who is reportedly exerting strong pressure to take decisive military steps to permanently remove the nuclear threat. Meanwhile, European allies, represented among others by German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, condemn the behavior of the Iranian leadership, though expressing concern about the consequences of a full-scale conflict for the global economy and energy security. Trump remains unyielding, claiming he already has a list of potential successors for the current leadership in Tehran, suggesting that operational planning goes beyond mere retaliatory strikes and may aim to bring about regime change. „I can attack for a long time and take over the whole Iran, or I can end it in two or three days. I have options.” — Donald Trump From an international perspective, the situation is deadlocked. Uranium enrichment by Iran has reached levels alarming to world powers, practically ruling out a return to the status quo before the escalation. Regional states, fearing the outbreak of a major war, are attempting a last chance for de-escalation, but Washington's determination to resolve the Iranian issue seems greater than ever before.
