For the first time, Iran has explicitly threatened to pursue a nuclear bomb if the war were to resume. "One option in the event of a new attack could be enriching uranium to 90%," a level suitable for nuclear weapons. "We will discuss this in Parliament," says National Security Committee spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei.

As the diplomatic stalemate continues, Trump is meeting with military leaders to discuss resuming strikes. It's unlikely the decision will be made before Thursday's meeting with Xi in China, where the tycoon will pressure Beijing to use its leverage with Tehran.

Regarding the possibility of Tehran halting its uranium enrichment program , Trump expressed optimism . " They will 100% stop ," he assured during an interview on "Sid and Friends in the Morning" on WABC. The tycoon also revealed that he had direct contact with Iranian officials during the negotiations: "I spoke to them. They told me we're going to get the dust." A reference to what he himself calls "nuclear dust."

The US president also harshly attacked the US media for their coverage of the Iran crisis. In a post published on Truth Social, Trump accused some outlets of "favoring the enemy" by claiming that Tehran was gaining military advantages over the United States. "When fake news reports claim Iran is gaining the upper hand against us, they are committing an act bordering on treason," he wrote. According to Trump, these narratives "fuel false hopes in Tehran" and end up "rooting against America."
