Trump Warns Iran Will Face Great Danger If Nuclear Talks Collapse

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to the Iranian regime this week, making it clear that the Islamic Republic will face “great danger” if upcoming nuclear negotiations fail to yield results. The high-stakes talks, set for Saturday, represent a last-ditch diplomatic effort before the Trump administration considers stronger measures to prevent Iran from ever acquiring a nuclear weapon.

“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, that’s all there is,” Trump declared from the Oval Office, sitting alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “If the talks aren’t successful, Iran is going to be in great danger.”

While Trump declined to disclose the location of the meeting, he emphasized that the discussions would be “top-level” and direct bypassing the bureaucratic back channels that defined the failed 2015 Obama-era deal. Unlike Joe Biden’s weak and reactive foreign policy, Trump’s approach is unmistakably clear: negotiate from a position of strength or face the consequences.

The talks follow a series of escalating provocations by Iran and its regional proxies:

• The U.S. recently launched airstrikes on the Houthis in Yemen, a terror group funded and armed by Iran.

• The Houthis have disrupted global trade routes and launched ballistic missiles at Israel, further destabilizing the region.

• Iranian officials recently threatened a strike on Great Britain’s Chagos Islands, following the deployment of American B-2 stealth bombers to the area.

In other words, Iran has been pushing its luck and Trump is ready to call the bluff.

“I think everybody agrees that doing a deal will be preferable to doing the obvious,” Trump said, alluding to potential military conflict. “The obvious is not something I want to be involved with or frankly that Israel wants to be involved with if they can avoid it.”

The contrast couldn’t be sharper. Under Barack Obama, the United States signed a deeply flawed agreement that poured billions into Iran’s coffers and did nothing to prevent nuclear development long term. Trump tore that deal up in 2018, calling it “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions” America had ever signed.

Now, he’s signaling the final opportunity to strike a real deal one that prioritizes American security and deters Iranian aggression, not one that placates it.

In a Fox News interview last month, Trump made clear that diplomacy is still on the table for now. “I would prefer to make a deal, because I’m not looking to hurt Iran,” he said. “They’re great people. I know so many Iranians from this country.” But he added, “Something’s going to happen one way or the other.”

Trump has even written directly to Iran’s regime, offering a path to peaceful resolution. Whether they’ll take it remains to be seen but one thing is certain: if Iran miscalculates, it won’t be Biden’s impotent State Department they’re dealing with. It’ll be Trump.

Get ready. One way or another, the status quo with Iran is about to change permanently.
