U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that American forces are fully prepared to launch military action against Iran if ongoing efforts fail to produce an agreement. In an interview with CNBC, Trump said the U.S. military could begin operations at any time and that the current ceasefire period had been used to stockpile weapons and ammunition.

Trump stated that the United States had taken advantage of the pause to strengthen its military readiness, emphasizing that the armed forces were eager and equipped for potential operations. He added that Iran might also have used the same period to prepare its own resources.

The remarks signal a renewed warning to Tehran that failure in negotiations could lead to military consequences, underscoring heightened tensions between the two nations.
