U.S.-Iran tensions escalate as Trump says ‘time is running’ out for Tehran - The Hindu
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Iran, suggesting that military action remains an option if Tehran continues actions that threaten American interests. Speaking during his election campaign, Trump claimed Iran has become more aggressive in recent months and blamed the current U.S. administration for what he described as weak foreign policy. He argued that Iran’s regional activities and support for militant groups have destabilized the Middle East and increased security risks for U.S. allies. Trump stated that during his presidency, Iran was economically and diplomatically constrained, reducing its ability to challenge the United States. He emphasized that a return to strict sanctions and firm leadership would deter Iran from pursuing hostile actions. While no immediate military plans were announced, his remarks signal a tougher stance if he returns to power. The comments have drawn international attention, as any escalation involving Iran could significantly impact global security and energy markets.
