President Trump warned that Iran can’t acquire a nuclear weapon.
Trump’s patience is running out.
And Donald Trump is about to unleash hell on Iran with one explosive order.
President Trump won the Presidency in 2016 in large part due ot his opposition to the endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In Trump’s first term, he succeeded in being the first President in 40 years to keep America out of any new wars.
In his second term, President Trump obliterated Iran’s nuclear facilities.
But now a wider war looms as President Trump believes negotiations with Iran over stopping them from obtaining a nuclear weapon will fail, and that war is the only option.
And that war could commence in the coming weeks.
“The boss is getting fed up. Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks,” a Trump advisor told Axios.
Vice President J.D. Vance told Fox News Channel’s Martha MacCallum that diplomatic talks with Iran made some progress, but not enough.
“In some ways, it went well. They agreed to meet afterward,” Vance stated. “But in other ways, it was very clear that the president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through.”
Vane went on to explain that Trump isn’t looking to kick this can down the road any further and that he wanted a solution, either diplomatically or militarily, to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon.
“The president of the United States is very much trying to find a solution here, whether it’s through diplomatic options or through another option, that means the Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Vance added.
Vance revealed that negotiations would continue, but there was a finite timeframe on how long Trump would allow for talks to drag on before he ordered a military option.
“We’re going to keep on working it, but of course, the president reserves the ability to say when he thinks that diplomacy has reached its natural end,” Vance concluded. “We hope we don’t get to that point, but if we do, that will be the president’s call.”
Trump ordered the largest military buildup in the Persian Gulf since the Iraq War, with one-third of the U.S. Navy deployed to the region, along with enough air firepower to conduct a weeks-long war.
The June bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities and the operation to capture Iranian President Nicolas Maduro show Trump doesn’t bluff.
We are currently witnessing the largest aerial buildup of combat capabilities by the U.S. Air Force in Europe and the Middle East since the Gulf War, though we will still have to wait and see if this is enough to “light the fire under” and pressure a new nuclear deal with Iran.
