US President Donald Trump says he is willing to reach an agreement with Iran that allows Washington to \u201cblow up\u201d Tehran\u2019s nuclear energy facilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s that simple,\u201d he said during an exchange with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would much prefer a strong, verified deal where we actually blow them up\u2026,\u201d Trump said, referring to Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n

Deal\u2019s outcome: Either \u2018Nice aggression\u2019 or \u2018vicious aggression\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 78-year-old former president added that there were only two possible outcomes, namely \u201cblowing them up nicely or blow them up viciously.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not the first time, Trump and other American officials have urged \u201ctotal dismantlement\u201d of Iran\u2019s nuclear energy program. The US president had last made the insistence during comments on the NBC’s “Meet the Press” program.<\/p>\n

Observers said such statements underline the US administration’s continued aggressive approach towards the Islamic Republic and its nuclear energy program.<\/p>\n

The adversarial standing comes while Washington and Tehran have been engaging in indirect talks since March. The talks\u2019 initiation marked drawn-out absence of such engagement between the two sides that had been caused by Washington\u2019s illegal and unilateral withdrawal from a historic nuclear deal between Tehran and others in 2018.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Trump\u2019s regional envoy Steve Witkoff said, \u201cThe president wants to see this solved diplomatically if possible, so we\u2019re doing everything we can to get it going.”<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s remarks, though, diagonally contradict Witkoff\u2019s statement about the president\u2019s alleged interest in a diplomatic solution.<\/p>\n

Trump also said potential American aggression against Iran\u2019s nuclear sites had to result in \u201cde-nuking them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US and its allies have for long been trying to accuse the Islamic Republic of pursuing \u201cnuclear weapons,\u201d despite the country\u2019s repeated avowal not to either pursue, develop, or stockpile such weaponry as per moral and religious imperatives.<\/p>\n

Tehran\u2019s peaceful nuclear policy has been verified unexceptionally by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which has never found any indication of such pursuit, as it has put the country’s nuclear activities under the most extensive investigative processes compared to any other member of the United Nations nuclear agency.<\/p>\n

The Western narrative, though, has been used extensively to try to justify escalating sanctions, military threats, and covert operations targeting Iran and its nuclear infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Islamic Republic has invariably vowed to deal effectively with attempts on the part of the US, its allied states, or proxies at engaging in military adventurism against the country.<\/p>\n

The assertion was last reiterated by Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent ambassador to the United Nations, who underscored on Monday that the country would unquestionably defend its sovereignty against any threat or use of force.<\/p>\n
