Trump Leaves Open Possibility of War with Iran in Second Term Amid Volatile Situation
Dec 12, 2024, 02:41 PM
In an interview with TIME magazine, President-elect Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of a military conflict with Iran during his upcoming second term. When asked about the likelihood of war with Iran, Trump responded, 'Anything can happen. Anything can happen. It's a very volatile situation.' This statement comes amidst heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with Trump's administration previously accusing the Revolutionary Guards of attempting to assassinate him, a claim Iran has denied. Trump's comments also reflect his broader foreign policy approach, which includes a policy of 'maximum pressure' on Iran, marked by his withdrawal from the JCPOA nuclear deal in 2018 and the reinstatement of economic sanctions against Tehran.
