Trump: US military ‘hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran’

President Trump warned Iran on Thursday that the U.S. military has not yet begun a sustained campaign against the country, using the threat as leverage to push Tehran toward a peace deal. Trump's statement echoes his repeated calls to "finish the job" against Iran, language he has deployed since taking office in January. The threat comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the Trump administration has pursued a more aggressive posture toward Tehran compared to the previous approach. Trump's warning signals his willingness to use military force as a negotiating tactic, though it remains unclear whether the administration intends to pursue direct military action or use the rhetoric as diplomatic pressure. The statement underscores the administration's strategy of employing forceful rhetoric to drive Iran toward negotiations.
