US President Donald Trump has said he is actively weighing limited military strikes on Iran as part of efforts to pressure Tehran into agreeing to a tougher nuclear deal.
Asked directly whether he was considering military action, Trump responded:
“I guess I can say I am considering that.”
These remarks highlight a potential escalation in US-Iran tensions amid stalled negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme, underscoring the risk of increased regional instability.
Trump has repeatedly argued that the previous nuclear framework failed to curb Iran’s enrichment activities and regional influence sufficiently. He has said any new agreement would need to impose stricter limits and broader verification measures.

Iran has maintained that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, while rejecting what it calls coercive diplomacy.
Limited strikes — if authorized — could target nuclear or military infrastructure and might significantly affect regional stability, emphasizing the importance of regional security for policymakers and analysts.
Security analysts warn that even a narrowly defined operation could provoke retaliatory actions from Iran or allied militias, risking broader regional conflict.
The White House has not released further operational details, and no formal decision has been announced.
