President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran regarding its nuclear program, stating that the U.S. will either 'blow up' Iran's nuclear facilities 'nicely' through a deal or 'viciously' through military action. Trump emphasized his preference for a 'strong, verifiable deal' that would ensure Iran does not develop nuclear weapons, and mentioned the possibility of involving experts from MIT to ensure total verification.

In response to Trump's comments, prominent Senate and House Republicans are circulating letters to the president, insisting that any nuclear agreement with Iran must include the complete dismantlement of its nuclear program. They argue that Iran's nuclear capabilities have advanced to a point where reliable monitoring and verification are no longer feasible.

Trump has also expressed a desire to resolve the issue with Iran without resorting to military action, stating he does not want to bomb Iran and hopes for the country's success. However, he reiterated that the U.S. will not tolerate Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, and mentioned the option of handing over nuclear fuel and centrifuges as part of a deal.

During a congressional session, Republican lawmakers displayed an Iranian-made Shahed-136 drone on Capitol Hill, highlighting Tehran's military capabilities and the broader threat it poses. Senators and representatives emphasized the need for a robust response to Iran's nuclear and military activities.
