Donald Trump says he has told Iran it has to do 'two things' to avoid military action, as the US builds up its forces in the Gulf. Number one, no nuclear. And number two, stop killing protesters, the US President said, adding that they are killing them by the thousands. We have a lot of very big, very powerful ships sailing to Iran right now, and it would be great if we didn't have to use them. His latest remarks follow weeks of pressure on Iran to negotiate a deal on its nuclear programme. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated armed forces were ready 'with their fingers on the trigger' to 'immediately and powerfully respond' to any aggression. Trump made his comments at the premiere of a documentary about his wife Melania, reflecting his consistent messaging about Iranian negotiations. Earlier in the week, Trump expressed on Truth Social: 'Hopefully Iran will quickly 'Come to the Table' and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS.' He emphasized a 'massive Armada' heading to Iran, ready to act 'if necessary'. In light of recent protests in Iran, Trump reiterated US support for the demonstrators, while Iranian officials maintain readiness for negotiations independent of US threats. Tensions between both nations continue to escalate, with Iran's response emphasizing their stance against coercion and affirming their rights to peaceful nuclear technology devoid of weapons.
