(Worthy News) – In the Oval Office on Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters that the United States might take military action against Iran’s nuclear program “very soon” if no deal is reached.
“We’re down to final strokes with Iran,” Trump explained, employing a golf metaphor. He emphasized the urgency, stating, “We’re down to the final moments. We’re at final moments. Can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.” Trump also predicted “interesting days ahead” regarding the situation with Iran.
Trump hinted at a military solution to dismantle the Iranian nuclear program, stating, “I’d rather do a peace deal than the other … but the other will solve the problem.”
In an interview with Fox Business on Thursday, Trump disclosed that he had sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the previous day.
In the letter, Trump expressed his hopes for negotiation: “I said, ‘I hope you’re going to negotiate because it’s going to be a lot better for Iran.'”
He also outlined the possible approaches to handling Iran: “There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily or you make a deal,” and stated his preference, “I would prefer to make a deal because I’m not looking to hurt Iran.”
Earlier this week, 77 retired U.S. military leaders sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging support for Israel to “finish the job” against Iran and its terrorist proxies.
Last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) issued a warning that Iran had ramped up its production of near-weapons-grade uranium and warned that time is running out for diplomacy for new restrictions before Iran will obtain a nuclear weapon.
IRAN’S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS CONNECTED TO PROPHECY?
While the West often views Iran’s nuclear program through a secular lens, the spiritual aspect, which plays a central role in driving Iran’s nuclear ambitions, should not be overlooked. Iran is the only country where Twelver Shi’ism is the state religion.
Twelver Shīʿism, the largest branch of Shīʿa Islam, makes up about 85% of Shīʿas. “Twelver” signifies belief in twelve divinely appointed leaders, the Twelve Imams, with the last, Imam al-Mahdi, expected to return as the Mahdi. Twelvers see the Imams as Muhammad’s spiritual and political successors, guiding with justice and interpreting Islamic law and the Qur’an’s inner meanings. They are viewed as infallible (Ismah) and divinely chosen (nass).
The Twelvers believe that the Mahdi is expected to appear in times of extreme chaos, returning alongside Jesus as a messiah to bring peace and establish Islam globally.
Twelver beliefs, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and threats toward Israel and the West have raised concerns. Critics suggest that Iran’s Supreme Leader might incite conflict to hasten the 12th Imam’s arrival. Former Iranian President Ahmadinejad has even called for the Imam’s return at the UN, asserting that the Islamic Revolution’s primary goal is to prepare for his reappearance.
