Trump says US will decide on Iran, either the "easy way or hard way"
Trump signaled the United States could escalate pressure on Iran as officials weigh possible military action and say Tehran is not doing well.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House he will soon decide Iran's future, stating the outcome will come either "the easy way or the hard way" while asserting Iran has been "decimated."
- Earlier in Texas, Trump described Tehran as heavily degraded economically and militarily, citing 301 per cent inflation and the collapse of its navy and air force as evidence the war will end "very quickly."
- Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump noted the situation was progressing favorably and that Iran was "not doing well," adding that the country has "virtually given up any plans of a nuclear weapon."
- Washington continues to exert pressure on the Iranian government, though Trump has withheld specific details about potential administration measures or a definitive timeline for the next steps in the ongoing conflict.
- Once the war concludes, oil prices will "drop like a rock," according to administration forecasts, marking a potential shift in global energy markets as Tehran faces its decisive choice.
