Trump presents Iran with two options: "the pleasant way or the unpleasant way"

US President Donald Trump stated that the campaign against Iran is progressing, presented two options for victory - "the pleasant way or the unpleasant way" - and claimed that Iran's nuclear facilities have already been destroyed. He promised a sharp drop in oil prices with the end of the war and refused to reveal details of his conversation with Hegseth and Netanyahu.

US President Donald Trump stated that the campaign against Iran is progressing, but a final decision on the path to victory has not yet been made. Trump said: "We are progressing very well against Iran. We just need to make a final decision on which way we want to win," and added: "Do we want to win the pleasant way, or the unpleasant way." According to him, he had no choice but to go to war because Iran is "the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world." Trump claimed that Iran's nuclear facilities have already been destroyed, but clarified that he is not satisfied with that and wants to ensure that Iran cannot rebuild its nuclear capabilities in the future. He promised that with the end of the war, oil prices "will drop like a stone." Meanwhile, two reports published today present contrasting pictures: in Qatar, they report a new compromise proposal that could lead to a breakthrough, while Reuters reveals that Tehran is deliberately stalling to weaken Trump ahead of the midterm elections. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth arrived last night for a brief visit to Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Ovda Air Force Base, with the participation of Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Advisor Shmuel Ben Ezra.
