Trump Warns Iran: Destruction Possible if Circumstances Demand

US President Donald Trump has issued a new warning to Iran, stating he has no desire to destroy the rest of the country but circumstances might make it necessary. The threat comes amid ongoing tensions between the two nations. Trump's Republican Party recently lost control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the US midterm elections. The defeat has been partly attributed to his military actions against Iran, which caused diesel prices to spike in America due to crude oil shortages. Trump stated Iran cannot build nuclear weapons without US permission, and warned that if destruction occurs, it could take Iran up to 25 years to recover. Negotiations over Iran's nuclear program remain stalled, with disagreements over economic sanctions and compensation for frozen assets.
