As President Donald Trump The edge is closer to Tehran, which may bomb Iran, and the intelligence community does not believe Iran is moving towards nuclear weapons.
“If they don’t make a deal, it will explode.” It’s unclear whether this means Israel or the United States will blow up Tehran. He added: “If they don’t make a deal, I will impose secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago.”
A secondary “tariff” or sanctions would mean an economic fine on any country that operates with Iran.

But Trump’s direct threat The war against Tehran At least not after National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard insisted that Iran did not build nuclear weapons last week.
“IC [intelligence community] Continue to assess the absence of nuclear weapons in Iran, and Khamenei has not authorized his nuclear weapons program to be suspended in 2003,” Gabbard told A global threat hearing held by the Senate intelligence community last week.
Experts believe Iran is Enrich uranium to 60%This makes it slightly less than 90% of what nuclear weapons require and says there is no civilian use of 60% uranium.
“If Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program,” Gabbad said. “We have seen erosion in the past year in Iran’s decades-long taboo, and they discuss nuclear weapons in public that could incite nuclear weapons advocates in Iran’s decision-making.”
She added that Iran’s uranium enrichment is “the highest level” and “unprecedented for states without nuclear weapons.”
IC’s annual threat assessment is released along with hearings, predicting Iran will continue to work to threaten U.S. citizens and act within the U.S.
“Tehran will try to leverage its strong missile capabilities and expand its nuclear program, as well as diplomatic propaganda to regional countries and U.S. competitors to enhance its regional influence and ensure the regime survives,” the report said. “But most regional and domestic challenges with Israel are seriously testing Iran’s ambitions and capabilities.”
The report details the “fatality” of Iran’s missile and drone systems, but has little to say about the threat to Iran’s nuclear program.

It assesses Israel’s ability to relegate Iran and can prevent further attacks on Israel.
“The IC assesses the prospects of causing damage to force and a reliable deterrence caused by Iran in the near future and constitutes a reliable deterrence force, which is bleak in the near future,” the report said.
JINSA President and CEO Michael Makovsky conducted a separate assessment of Fox News Digital, “Their rich plans will be obtained as much as possible, so that part is done. So the problem is the weapon part. … The problem today is that there are fewer weapons and more opportunities involved.”
Behnam Ben Taleblu, an analyst at the Democratic Defense Foundation, added wider criticism. “When ICs, journalists or open source analysts are unable to connect the points between strategy, capability and intention when they look at Iran’s atomic infrastructure, they can cause public damage to the public’s national debate.”
He said the global threat assessment “should be just politicized” but intelligence officials must be asked, if Iran has not built weapons, why has it invested so much time, labor and capital to solve the task? ”
Talibru said Tehran’s move towards atomic weapons was not a dash, but a “slow and steady pursuit to develop the world’s most dangerous weapons as safely as possible”.
As the United States is strengthening its forces in the Middle East, the threat of renewal emerges. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently sent his second aircraft carrier, Carl Vinson, to join Harry S. Truman.
The United States has also recently deployed Two B-2 stealth bombers Toward the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, warns Houthi militias in Iran and Yemen. These aircraft are capable of carrying 30,000-pound “Bunker Buster” bombs, which are now within Iranian range.

During his first term, Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal signed by then-President Barack Obama, deeming it a “bad deal” with no nuclear program to contain Iran.
He has ordered his government to bring “the greatest pressure” back to Tehran, suffocating economically from every leverage of the government.
