Trump Warns: Iran Can’t Build Nuclear Bomb

New Delhi : Former US President Donald Trump has once again made headlines with a bold statement regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions. As the United States begins to gradually withdraw its military presence from the Middle East, Trump issued a stern warning, declaring that Iran cannot and will not be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb. Speaking during an interview, Trump was asked whether any steps could be taken to reduce the political and military tensions in the Middle East. His response was direct and uncompromising: “Iran cannot build a nuclear bomb. It’s very simple. They just can’t have one.”

The comment comes amidst growing global concern over Iran’s nuclear enrichment activities and its potential breach of the limits set under the now-defunct Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Since the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal during Trump’s presidency, tensions in the region have surged. The former president’s remarks are seen as both a reiteration of his hardline stance and a signal to the Biden administration, which has taken a different approach toward Tehran.

Meanwhile, US officials have confirmed that the military has begun a strategic reduction of its forces in the Middle East, particularly in areas considered lower in priority. This decision is reportedly part of a broader plan to shift defense focus toward Asia and other pressing global regions. However, critics warn that such a move may create a power vacuum, potentially emboldening Iran and its regional allies.

Trump, known for his aggressive foreign policy during his tenure, emphasized that allowing Iran to possess nuclear weapons would destabilize the entire Middle East. He claimed that his administration had successfully kept Iran in check and accused current US leadership of projecting weakness. Trump’s statements are likely to add fuel to an already volatile situation, especially as Iran continues to maintain that its nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes.

As diplomatic negotiations between world powers and Iran remain uncertain, Trump’s firm remarks reflect the deep political divide in the US over how to handle Tehran. The international community, meanwhile, watches closely, aware that any misstep could lead to further escalation in an already fragile region.
