BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 28. U.S. President
Donald Trump announced that one of the goals of the U.S. operation
against Iran is to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons,
Trend reports.
"It has always been the policy of the United States, in
particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never
have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again, they can never have a
nuclear weapon," he said in a post on his Truth Social page.
The escalation follows the 3rd round of nuclear talks between
Iran and the United States in Geneva on February 26. Held under the
administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the negotiations
were seen as a last opportunity for a diplomatic resolution.
However, no agreements were reached, as Tehran refused to halt
uranium enrichment, dismantle its nuclear facilities, or accept
indefinite restrictions on its nuclear program. On the morning of
February 28, Israel and the U.S. began launching strikes on Iran
from land, sea, and air.
