Donald Trump warns military action could resume if Iran talks fail
US President Donald Trump warned that military action against Iran could resume if diplomatic talks mediated by Oman fail to yield a resolution.
US President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Axios that Washington is conducting deep negotiations with Iran, but warned that the United States will return to "very strong military action" if diplomatic efforts fail.
The statement follows a directive by Trump halting daily US air strikes against Iranian targets after 13 consecutive days of bombardment. The pause was ordered to allow an Omani delegation visiting Tehran to mediate negotiations on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump noted that little time remains for a diplomatic resolution.
Additionally, Trump indicated he intends to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin whether Moscow provided Iran with satellite imagery of American military installations in the Middle East following recent attacks on US bases.
