Trump Warns Iran of ‘One Big Glow’ if Talks Collapse

Trump warned Iran of severe retaliation if ceasefire talks fail, as he said the country could face a nuclear strike or attacks on oil infrastructure.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump warned Iran that the world will see "one big glow" if a ceasefire agreement is not reached soon, making the threat while touring the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
  • Tensions surged following an Iranian attack on three U.S. Navy vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, prompting Trump to claim the destroyers dealt "great damage" to Iranian forces in response.
  • Despite recent military skirmishes, the temporary ceasefire remains in place under Operation Epic Fury; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the project "separate" and "distinct," though peace talks in Pakistan failed last month.
  • Defending his "Safe and Beautiful" campaign, Trump highlighted a $2 million renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool while dismissing criticism about focusing on construction during the war.
  • Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said officials "expect an agreement sooner rather than later," as Iran reviews U.S. messages transmitted through Pakistani mediators to end the conflict.
