Donald Trump has firmly rejected the possibility of negotiations with Iran, declaring that the ongoing joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign will continue until the country’s military capability and leadership structure are completely dismantled.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump stated that the campaign against the Islamic Republic would not stop until Iran no longer has a functioning military or ruling leadership. The remarks signal a hardline stance amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and ongoing conflict involving both U.S. and Israeli forces.

The president also addressed the devastating explosion at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, a tragedy that reportedly killed between 165 and 180 people, most of them children. Trump said and cleared that the bombing was carried out by Iran itself.

In addition, Trump responded to intelligence reports suggesting that Russia has been assisting Iran by providing targeting information, including the locations of American warships and aircraft operating in the region. According to the reports, the data may have been intended to help Iranian forces strike U.S. military assets.

Trump warned that any foreign support for Iran’s military operations would further complicate the situation and could deepen the broader geopolitical crisis. Analysts say the accusations involving Russia could significantly raise tensions between Washington and Moscow, potentially expanding the scope of the conflict beyond the Middle East.

The escalating confrontation between the United States, Israel, and Iran has heightened fears of a wider regional war, as diplomatic options appear increasingly limited and military rhetoric intensifies on multiple fronts.
