Trump pursues a goal of absolute, comprehensive triumph over Iran.
President Donald Trump has made it clear that the USA is NOT aiming for a truce in the conflict between Israel and Iran. In a bold statement at the White House, Trump declared, "We want total, complete victory!" The key to victory? No nuclear weapons. He emphasized that he's not looking to instigate a fight but if it comes down to a choice between war and an Iranian nuclear bomb, "we must do what we must do."
Trump announced another meeting today in the famously secure "Situation Room" at the US government headquarters in Washington. Yesterday, he huddled with his national security team there for consultations. The USA's role in this conflict will significantly influence its progress. So far, the US military has been assisting Israel in defense, but the government has emphasized that they are not engaging in the Israel-Iran fighting directly.
Trump previously refused to commit to a clear course regarding Iran. When questioned about potential US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, he quipped, "Nobody knows what I'll do." He didn't dismiss the possibility but also hinted he might not act. If he were to act, he'd keep it under wraps beforehand.
Trump also hinted at diplomatic negotiations, albeit with a skeptical tone. He stated Tehran appears angry, and a solution could have been reached earlier, but it's not too late. He noted an Iranian proposal to visit the White House, praising it as brave. However, he mentioned travel difficulties due to ongoing hostilities.
The possibility of a US-Iran meeting remains in the air. Trump indicated that the door is not closed but conceded it's not easy for Iranian officials to travel amidst the chaos of the conflict.

Insight: The U.S. is preparing for potential military action against Iran's nuclear program but is yet to commit to direct combat involvement. The future actions depend on Iran's response to U.S. negotiation demands and the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions without intensifying the conflict further [1][2].
The European Union, with a comprehensive and comprehensive policy on the environment, has been closely monitoring the escalating wars-and-conflicts in the Middle East, particularly the Iran-Israel conflict. The political implications of this conflict, including the Iranian nuclear program, have garnered global attention, with general-news outlets following developments closely.
