Trump Offers Iran Deal or Military Action Over Nuclear Program

President Trump announced on Friday that he had sent a letter to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, offering to reopen negotiations over the country's nuclear program. However, he also warned that Iran would have to choose between curbing its nuclear program or facing a military attack.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that Iran's nuclear capabilities were reaching a critical point. He estimated that Iran possessed enough near-bomb-grade fuel to produce approximately six nuclear weapons. "We're down to final strokes with Iran," he declared. "We can't let them have a nuclear weapon."

militarily, or you make a deal," he said. "I would prefer to make a deal, because I'm not looking to hurt Iran. They're great people."

The White House did not disclose the contents of the letter or the method of delivery. It remains unclear whether the letter was sent through the traditional intermediary, Switzerland, or through another nation such as Russia.
