Speaking at the Oval Office, Trump stated, "You will know soon enough" regarding potential actions against Iran and asserted control over Iran's nuclear program, saying they cannot proceed without U.S. approval.

Story summary

US President Donald Trump warned that the United States may have to "destroy" the rest of Iran, saying people will "know soon enough" if he acts, according to Al Jazeera and the Times of India reports from November 6, 2026. Trump’s comments come amid renewed scrutiny over an eight-month-old conflict with Iran following Republican losses in the US midterm elections. Voter dissatisfaction over the ongoing war and rising fuel prices contributed to Democratic gains. Tehran has reportedly sent a nuclear proposal to Washington through Qatari mediators, while waiting for its seven demands to be met. Trump also stated that Iran cannot advance its nuclear program without US approval, though he prefers avoiding further destruction if possible.
