With U.S.-Iran end-of-war talks effectively collapsed, President Donald Trump told a TV interviewer he could authorize strikes on Iran for another two weeks.
In an interview aired on the U.S. current‑affairs program Full Measure on the 10th (local time), Trump said, “We can go in for two more weeks and strike every target.” He added that roughly 70% of the specific targets they had sought to hit were already struck, but that additional targets remained.
When asked whether combat operations were finished, Trump replied, “No, I didn’t say that,” signaling the possibility of further military action. “I said they (Iran) were defeated, but that doesn’t mean the operation is over,” he said.
He reiterated that securing Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU) is a core objective and declared, “We will secure Iran’s uranium eventually.”
Trump also outlined plans to employ the U.S. Space Force in the campaign. “As you know, I created the Space Force and they’re watching. If someone approaches, we can identify their name, address and badge number. Even if someone comes near, we’ll know and we will blow them up,” he said.
The president’s remarks, which hinted at additional strikes, drew attention because they followed his characterization of Iran’s response as unacceptable and his effectively declaring the negotiations dead. Trump had previously warned he might order military action if talks failed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed the calls for military action and urged that the United States and Israel take custody of Iran’s highly enriched uranium.
In an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes, Netanyahu said, “Iran still has nuclear material that must be removed. We have to go in and take it.” He added that Iran-backed proxies remain active and that they continue to produce ballistic missiles, so “there is still work to be done.”
When asked whether U.S. or Israeli special forces might be sent into Iran to seize nuclear material, Netanyahu declined to comment directly but said, “President Trump has said he wants to go into Iran too.”
International nuclear monitors estimate Iran holds roughly 440 kg (about 970 lb) of bomb‑grade highly enriched uranium. Netanyahu stressed that removing that uranium through a negotiated settlement would be the best option, but he offered no specifics on contingency plans if talks fail.
