Donald Trump has signaled that he is not keen on pursuing a diplomatic deal with Iran, while U.S. officials reportedly prepare for large‑scale military operations in the coming weeks, NBC News reported.

The president’s stance comes as his national security team discusses the possibility of resuming substantial U.S. military actions against Iran. NBC News notes that these discussions are part of a broader assessment of options to address Iran’s regional activities, which the administration has long considered a threat to U.S. interests and allies.

The potential shift toward military action follows years of stalled negotiations and heightened tensions, including past U.S. sanctions and Iranian missile programs. While the administration has not yet confirmed any specific operational plans, the mention of “massive bombing” indicates a serious escalation that could reshape the security dynamics in the Middle East.

The situation remains fluid, and U.S. officials have not yet released detailed statements about the next steps. As the administration weighs diplomatic versus military options, observers expect further clarification in the coming days and a reassessment of the diplomatic engagement with Iran.
