JUST IN: Trump weighs military strike on Iran amid rising tensions

President Donald Trump is reportedly “seriously considering” a military strike on Iran, according to his post via his Truth Social media on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

The report follows recent Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites, which initially faced Trump’s opposition.

Trump later praised the Israeli attacks, calling them “excellent” and warning there could be “more to come.”

He has urged Iran to return to nuclear negotiations to avoid further escalation or potential U.S. involvement.

Trump warned Iran of “severe consequences” if it continues its current course without seeking a diplomatic resolution.

Despite the reports, no official White House statement confirms that a U.S. military strike is currently planned.

Experts urge caution, noting that X posts often include unverified or speculative information about sensitive international developments.

Trump has said diplomacy remains his preferred option, though he acknowledged possible U.S. action if Iran targets American interests.

He also rejected an Israeli proposal to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, citing risks of further escalation.

The move indicates his reluctance to take extreme actions that might destabilize the region even more.

As tensions rise, diplomatic efforts remain underway, though their outcome remains uncertain.

This is a developing story .

More details shortly.
