[60411] Escalation in Trump's remarks: Iran is on the verge of a bomb and an immediate agreement is necessary

Rising tension surrounding the Iranian nuclear program

In a series of statements released on May 15, 2026, Donald Trump sharply attacked Iran in an interview with the Fox News network. As reported on Al Jazeera Channel, Trump stated that he "won't have much patience" and that the Iranians must "reach a deal" urgently. Al Jazeera notes that Trump further claimed that Iran's leaders admitted to him that only the US and China have the technology required to handle "buried nuclear dust" according to Al Jazeera.

At the same time, on the Akhbar Al-Ghad website, Trump's words were quoted according to which "we will not allow Iran to possess a nuclear weapon" because they are "crazy" and would use it against Israel, the Middle East, and Europe. This report emphasizes Trump's hawkish line towards Tehran.

On the intelligence front, Beirut News reports that an anonymous American minister issued a grave warning, stating that Iran is now "only a few weeks" away from obtaining military-grade uranium that can be used to produce nuclear weapons. The report in Beirut News completes the worrying picture emerging in the Arab media discourse regarding the potential for a nuclear confrontation.
