Trump threatens to bomb Iran unless they end nuclear weapons program and begin talks on new deal

JERUSALEM—President Donald Trump’s overtures via a letter to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, to jump-start talks on dismantling Tehran’s illicit nuclear weapons program, were met with rejection by the theocratic state on Sunday, following Trump’s latest threat to the regime.
Trump told NBC on Saturday that «If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,» he said. «But there’s a chance that if they don’t make a deal, that I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago.»
Trump added the U.S. and officials from the Islamic Republic are «talking.»
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday «We don’t avoid talks; it’s the breach of promises that has caused issues for us so far,» according to the Associated Press. He added, «They must prove that they can build trust.» The White House did not immediately respond to Iran’s rejection of the talks, the AP reported.
Pezeshkian still noted that in Iran’s response to the letter that indirect negotiations with the Trump administration were still possible.

The apparent return of Iran’s regime to its standard playbook of opaque indirect talks between the U.S. and Tehran’s rulers raises questions about whether Trump would greenlight military strikes to eradicate Iran’s vast nuclear weapons program.
After Iran launched two massive missile and drone attacks on Israel last year, Trump could also aid the Jewish state in knocking out Iran’s nuclear weapons apparatus.
Indirect talks between the U.S. and the world’s worst state-sponsor of terrorism, according to Democratic and Republican administrations, have not compelled Iran to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Jason Brodsky, the policy director of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), told Fox News Digital that the Iranians «do not want to provide President Trump with a casus belli to strike Iran’s nuclear program. There may be indirect and non-public responses through various intermediaries. I think some Iranian officials perceive a fissure among President Trump’s national security team on Iran. This explains Iran’s foreign minister’s comment in recent days that President Trump’s letter to the supreme leader poses challenges as well as opportunities.»

Brodsky said, «These Iranian officials seek to bypass experienced hands like President Trump’s national security advisor and secretary of state, who have been demanding the dismantlement of Iran’s entire nuclear program in keeping with President Trump’s long-standing and rightful position on this issue, and cultivate individuals around President Trump who do not have experience with Iran or are considered non-traditional conservatives who would be more receptive to their entrees.»
Trump promised that «bad things» would happen to Iran if the regime does not come to the table for nuclear negotiations. «My big preference is that we work it out with Iran, but if we don’t work it out, bad things are gonna happen to Iran,» he said on Friday.
Iran is enriching uranium to 60%, just shy of the 90% weapons-grade. Experts say it could have a nuclear weapon within weeks if it were to take the final steps to building one. Fox News Digital reported in late March that Iran’s regime has enriched enough uranium to manufacture six nuclear weapons, according to a U.N. atomic agency report.

Alireza Nader, an Iranian-American expert on Iran, told Fox News Digital, «Khamenei may be signaling that he’s not interested in negotiations, but his regime desperately needs economic relief. Otherwise, another popular uprising against him could start. Khamenei doesn’t have the cards.»
There is widespread discontent among Iranians against the rule of 85-year-old Khamenei.

Iran’s has upped the ante ever since Trump told FOX Business he sent a letter to Khamenei. Iran has disclosed video footage of its underground «missile city.»
Trump also told FOX Business, «I would rather negotiate a deal.»
He continued, «I’m not sure that everybody agrees with me, but we can make a deal that would be just as good as if you won militarily. But the time is happening now, the time is coming up.
«Something is going to happen one way or the other. I hope that Iran, and I’ve written them a letter, saying I hope you’re going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing for them.»
Brodsky said, «That means the Islamic Republic may dangle a JCPOA-like deal, with minor modifications from the previous 2015 agreement. Iranian media has been hyping such an arrangement.»
In 2018, Trump withdrew from the Obama-negotiated Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action deal because, he argued, that the agreement failed to ensure Iran would not build nuclear weapons and did not codify restrictions against Tehran’s missile program and sponsorship of Islamist terrorism.

Brodsky said, «These Iranian officials believe they can lure the Trump administration into this arrangement and then President Trump will wave a magic wand and bring the entire Republican Party along with Democrats to support the deal and make it more politically durable than the 2015 JCPOA. This is all despite President Trump’s consistent and strong record in rejecting the JCPOA framework. It reflects desperation in Tehran and a desire to buy time with another failed diplomatic gambit. But it’s important to have eyes wide open here as to the games the Iranians will (and are already) playing.»
While Trump’s director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, testified on Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee that the intelligence community «continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003,» she did note that Iran increased its enriched uranium stockpile.
In sharp contrast to U.S. intelligence since 2003, Fox News Digital has previously reported that European intelligence agencies believe Iran is working toward testing an atomic weapon, and sought illicit technology for its nuclear weapons program.
Counter-proliferation experts, like the prominent physicist and nuclear specialist David Albright, have told Fox News that European intelligence institutions use an updated definition of construction of weapons of mass destruction to assess Iran’s progress in contrast to America’s alleged obsolete definition.

UN delegates walk out of Netanyahu address after cheering Palestinian leader day before

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Delegates at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) stormed out Friday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the stage and prepared to speak. The mass exit came after delegates spent days speaking about the situation in Gaza and proposals to end the nearly two-year war.
Their response to Netanyahu was a stark contrast to the long round of applause that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas received when he addressed the international body virtually on Thursday.

On Friday, as Netanyahu began his address, he was speaking to a nearly empty hall. It is unclear exactly which delegations stayed in the chamber, though U.S. delegates were present.
While he did not have the attention of all the U.N. delegates, Netanyahu revealed in his speech that he was addressing a much wider audience. Netanyahu revealed that his speech was played on speakers surrounding the Gaza Strip and that it was being streamed to Gazans’ cell phones.

The prime minister revealed the wide reach of his address after giving the hostages a message in Hebrew and in English.
«Our brave heroes, this is Prime Minister Netanyahu speaking to you live from the United Nations,» he began. «We have not forgotten you, not even for a second. The people of Israel are with you. We will not falter, and we will not rest until we bring all of you home.»

Netanyahu then turned his message to those holding the hostages in Gaza, including the leaders of Hamas, who could presumably hear his speech. He demanded the release of the 48 remaining hostages and gave an additional warning.
«Free the hostages now! If you do, you will live. If you don’t, Israel will hunt you down,» he said.
When Abbas spoke on Thursday, he slammed Israel’s «genocide» in Gaza, insisted his party is ready to take over the security and governance of the enclave and appealed to President Donald Trump for peace. He also demanded «full membership in the United Nations,» given that several European nations recognized a Palestinian state over the course of the UNGA.

«Palestine is ours. Jerusalem is the jewel of our hearts and our eternal capital. We will not leave our homeland. We will not leave our lands,» Abbas declared.
Abbas may have had a bigger audience in the hall than Netanyahu, but he was unable to see it in person after the State Department refused to approve his visa to travel to New York for the conference, citing support of terrorism.

Lawmakers push Congress to condemn ‘escalation of attacks’ on ICE officers after Dallas shooting

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: A group of lawmakers is urging Congress to formally condemn «violent attacks» against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as threats against federal facilities escalate.
It comes days after a shooter opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas, killing one detainee and injuring two others before turning the gun on himself. Federal authorities have called it a targeted attack.
The resolution is being led by Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., Republican Study Committee Chair August Pfluger, R-Texas, and House Small Business Committee Chair Roger Williams, R-Texas.
«Since President Trump took office, there has been a rise in hostile rhetoric and violence directed against ICE facilities and officers,» their resolution said.

It noted the most recent shooting, including officials’ report that one of the bullet casings was inscribed with «ANTI-ICE» on it, and it listed seven other incidents or threats aimed at ICE facilities and offices that have occurred since June.
The resolution said «these acts reflect an escalation of attacks against ICE and federal immigration enforcement operations, including a 1,000 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers.»
It also lauded ICE’s efforts under the Trump administration while warning that «violent, ideologically motivated attacks on ICE not only endanger life, but undermine public trust in the rule of law and impair the capacity of ICE to carry out lawful missions.»
The resolution is largely symbolic and would be an expression of solidarity with ICE if passed by the House.
The recent Dallas ICE facility shooting has seen bipartisan condemnation, but such a measure could divide Democrats with its praise of the Trump administration’s efforts. Democrats have criticized what they have seen as overly harsh tactics in pursuit of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

FBI Director Kash Patel said investigators recovered these rounds from the scene in Dallas where a gunman opened fire on the local ICE field office on Sept. 24, 2025. (FBI)
House Democratic leaders released a joint statement after the shooting that read, in part, «No one in America should be violently targeted, including our men and women in law enforcement who protect and serve our neighborhoods, and the immigrants who are too often the victims of dehumanizing rhetoric.»
Fry, who led the resolution, told Fox News Digital, «It is unacceptable that ICE officers are being targeted for upholding the laws of this country. Congress must send a clear and unmistakable message: violent attacks will not be tolerated, reckless rhetoric will not be excused, and we will stand firmly with those who protect us every day.»
MANGIONE, CATHOLIC CHURCH SHOOTER, CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTER, ICE SHOOTER ALL USED ENGRAVED BULLETS
Pfluger, who leads a 189-member group that acts as a de facto think tank for the House GOP, ripped the left but praised ICE.
«Radical leftists would rather see the criminal illegal aliens that the Biden administration let in our country continue to wreak havoc in our communities than support the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to uphold our laws and defend American citizens,» he said.

Williams told Fox News Digital, «The heinous targeted attacks on our ICE facilities and officers are unacceptable and must never be tolerated. These men and women put their lives on the line every day to uphold the rule of law, protect our borders, and keep American families safe.»
In a statement posted on X this week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blamed «toxic anti-ICE rhetoric from sanctuary politicians and radical activists» for the rise in threats against immigration authorities.
It comes amid an increase in high-profile political violence seen over the last year.
