US President Donald Trump speaks during a press conference at the White House, Washington, D.C., US on February 20, 2026. The Supreme Court of the United States struck down some of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs on imported goods, but left the door open for the White House to use other tools to impose the controversial levies.

President Trump told reporters at the White House he is weighing military action to force Tehran into negotiations, though he provided no details. The remark follows warnings of action within "10 to 15 days" if talks fail.

President Donald Trump confirmed Friday that he is considering a limited military strike on Iran to pressure the country into a nuclear deal. Responding to reporters at the White House, Trump said: "I guess I can say I am considering that," when asked about the possibility of limited strikes. He provided no further details and did not respond to additional shouted questions.

Escalating Rhetoric

The confirmation follows Trump's Thursday warning at the Board of Peace inaugural meeting that the US would opt for military action "within 10 to 15 days" if negotiations fail. He emphasized Tehran must reach a "meaningful" deal, reiterating that Iran cannot be allowed nuclear weapons, which would undermine regional security. "They must make a deal. If that doesn't happen... bad things will happen," he warned.

Diplomatic Context

The remarks come amid resumed nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington, with rounds in Muscat and Geneva under Omani mediation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday the sides are discussing peaceful enrichment guarantees—not program suspension—and stressed there is "no military solution" to the nuclear issue. The diplomatic efforts occur against heightened regional tensions, a US military buildup in the Persian Gulf, and Iranian military drills.
