President Donald Trump sent a clear and forceful message from the South Lawn on Wednesday as tensions between Israel and Iran escalate: the United States will act in its best interest—and on Trump’s terms.
Asked about the possibility of a U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump didn’t mince words. “I may do it, I may not do it,” he said confidently. “Nobody knows what I’m going to do, and that’s the way I like it.” Classic Trump—keeping America’s enemies guessing and the upper hand firmly in U.S. hands.
As Israel enters its sixth day of conflict with Iran, the president made it clear that Tehran is feeling the heat. “Iran’s got a lot of trouble,” Trump said. “They want to negotiate. I asked them, ‘Why didn’t you come to the table two weeks ago before all this death and destruction?’ They could’ve had a country. Now? Too late.”
Trump also revealed that an Iranian leader recently floated the idea of visiting the White House. His response? Pure America First. “It’s very late to be talking,” he said. “There’s a big difference between now and a week ago. Big difference.”
On Truth Social, Trump called for Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” and warned Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei that the U.S. knows exactly where he is, though Trump clarified, “we’re not taking him out… at least not for now.”
Backed by a sharp national security team and unwilling to play games, Trump is reminding the world that peace through strength still works—and under his watch, America won’t bow to terror states. His message to Iran is simple: negotiate from a place of weakness, or face consequences you won’t forget.
