Trump Issues Stark Warning to Iran Over New Nuclear Facilities

US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning that any new nuclear facilities Iran decides to build will be destroyed.

“All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or obliterated. It would take years to bring them back into service and, if Iran wanted to do so, they would be much better off starting anew, in three different locations, prior to those sites being obliterated, should they decide to do so,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, The Caspian Post reports via Kazakh media.

The statement comes amid ongoing developments in Iran’s nuclear diplomacy. Recently, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reaffirmed Tehran’s commitment to continuing cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), although in a new format aimed at bolstering the security of its nuclear facilities.

“Cooperation with the IAEA will not stop but will take a new form to ensure the security of its nuclear facilities,” Araghchi said.
