TRUMP SAYS US STILL HAS ‘ONE OR TWO TARGETS’ IN IRAN
US President Donald Trump has said Washington still has “one or two” targets to address in Iran, while maintaining that negotiations to end the conflict are progressing.
Speaking to reporters at his Florida residence on Saturday, Trump claimed US operations had severely weakened Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities.
He identified Pickaxe Mountain, a suspected underground nuclear complex, as a possible remaining target. Iran denies carrying out nuclear work at the site.
Trump said the United States was not rushing into further military action.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said the President had not decided whether to launch fresh strikes, adding that Washington remained open to a diplomatic solution.
Iran Warns Against Further Attacks
Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned that any renewed attack would receive an immediate response.
According to a statement, he directed military commanders to update their targets and prepare for threats from the United States and Israel.
Iranian military officials also warned that further fighting could spread the conflict across a wider area.
Mediators Seek Agreement
Diplomatic efforts continued alongside the warnings, with a Qatari delegation arriving in Tehran on Friday.
Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei said he had received a letter from US Vice President JD Vance and described its changed tone as a positive sign. He did not disclose its contents.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said there were no immediate plans for direct meetings with US officials, although consultations through mediators were continuing.
Iran also maintained that restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would remain until its conditions, including the release of frozen assets, were met.
The disruption has contributed to higher global energy prices. Despite mediation by Qatar and Pakistan, the report said no lasting agreement had been reached.
