Trump Delivers Update On Iran
President Donald Trump is standing firm against Iran, even as the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, continues quiet diplomatic engagement with Iranian officials, according to the White House.
“Those communications are ongoing,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during Monday’s daily briefing. “But make no mistake — President Trump himself has not and will not speak to Iran.”
This comes just days after President Trump brought a violent 12-day Middle East conflict to a halt — a crisis that had the world on edge. The turning point? A decisive U.S. airstrike that leveled three major Iranian nuclear facilities using massive 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs. The message was clear: America means business.
The fragile ceasefire, brokered by the Trump administration, continues to hold. But behind the scenes, tensions remain high as Iran’s regional ambitions clash with growing U.S.-Israeli cooperation.
Trump made his position unmistakably clear on Monday: “We are not offering Iran anything. Nothing is on the table.” His words sent a strong signal that the United States will not negotiate from a position of weakness.
Leavitt echoed that strength, stating that the June 21 strike “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear infrastructure — a move praised by military analysts and Trump supporters as a bold return to peace through strength.
With Iran rattled and America once again leading from the front, many see this as a turning point in Middle East policy — one built on American resolve, not apology.
