U.S. President Donald Trump has issued his strongest warning yet to Iran, declaring that Washington is prepared to either reach a diplomatic agreement or, in his words, "finish the job."
Speaking after the latest round of negotiations in Doha ended without a breakthrough, Trump said the United States still prefers diplomacy but warned that military action remains an option if talks fail.
The president claimed the U.S. military could strike Iran's key infrastructure, including bridges, energy facilities, and other strategic targets, within a very short period if necessary.
Trump stressed that his preference is to avoid further conflict, saying he wants to spare the Iranian people from additional suffering while urging Tehran to return to meaningful negotiations.
His remarks came as millions of mourners gathered in Tehran for the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where crowds chanted anti-American slogans during the state ceremonies.
The latest developments highlight the widening gap between Washington and Tehran, with both sides maintaining firm positions following the inconclusive Doha talks.
Diplomatic efforts continue, but major disagreements remain over Iran's nuclear programme, regional security, sanctions, and broader strategic issues.
As tensions remain high, the international community is closely watching whether renewed negotiations can prevent further escalation or whether the standoff could enter a more dangerous phase.
