The US president is reportedly weighing his next move while remaining open to meeting Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian
US President Donald Trump is weighing several options regarding Iran, including blowing the “entire nation up,” Fox News has reported. At the same time, Trump has reportedly signaled that he is open to talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The US and Israel launched their war against Iran in late February, killing senior officials and commanders, including longtime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. A June 17 memorandum intended to halt the fighting expired in mid-August without a lasting agreement. Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted, pushing up global energy prices.
On Sunday, Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst reported that Trump had told him he was in “deciding mode” and teased “very big things… happening in the not-so-distant future.” Trump is considering “wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically, or making a deal,” according to Yingst.
The president also reportedly indicated that he is “open” to meeting Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York this week.
