U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, saying the country would be destroyed if it fails to reach an agreement with Washington. He made the remarks during a media interview, emphasizing that Iran had removed some missiles from underground and suggesting that the situation could escalate rapidly.

Trump also offered a mixed assessment of Iran’s current administration, indicating a possible change in his view of its diplomatic approach. He stated that in many ways, Iranian leaders now seem more reasonable than before. When asked about the need to extract enriched uranium from Iranian territory, Trump said the move was important both for security and for maintaining international image.

The comments, reported by Al Jazeera, reflect renewed tension between the United States and Iran, with Trump’s statements underscoring a hardline stance while hinting at potential diplomatic flexibility.
