Trump floats new strikes on Iran nuclear site as talks stall

gmx.net (German) —

US President Donald Trump has suggested potential new military strikes on targets in Iran, specifically naming Mount Kolang, suspected of housing a nuclear complex, as negotiations between Washington and Tehran stall. Trump stated the US could handle one or two remaining facilities in ten minutes, though he said there was no urgency. Iran denies nuclear work at the site, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi said no meetings with US officials are currently planned. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Chamenei warned of an "immediate, effective, and geographically unrestricted response" to any new attacks. The Iran war began in late February with US and Israeli strikes, and diplomacy stalled after a failed agreement in June.
