Trump Threatens Iran Again: "We Will Hit Harder!"
US President Donald Trump issued another stern warning to Iran, after claiming the country is rebuilding its nuclear facilities. In a tweet on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump asserted that the US is prepared to carry out more attacks if Iran continues its nuclear activities. He also claimed that the US military strike last June had "completely destroyed" Iran's main nuclear sites.
In response to the statement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that his country's nuclear facilities were indeed severely damaged by the attack. He stated that uranium enrichment activities have now been halted due to the significant damage. However, he warned that Iran has not ruled out rebuilding them if deemed necessary.
Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated again after a period of relative calm in recent weeks. Trump's move to re-escalate the Iranian nuclear issue is seen as a signal that Washington will not allow room for compromise, especially as the US election campaign approaches. Instead, Iran is trying to show that it remains determined to continue its nuclear program if pressure continues.
This situation has again raised concerns in global markets and the international community, which had hoped that negotiations would resolve the protracted conflict between the two countries. Analysts believe this verbal escalation could trigger further instability in the Middle East, with potential impacts on energy security and global financial markets. (ayu)
