SAEDNEWS: Washington is ready to engage in dialogue with Tehran but the option of using force remains on the table, US President Donald Trump claimed.
"I hope they're not trying to build up again, because if they are, we're going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup," he stated at a joint press conference with Israeli regime's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
When asked if Washington would be open to engaging in bilateral discussions with Tehran, Trump answered in the affirmative, TASS reported.
Earlier, Trump and Netanyahu held talks at the US leade r’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked aggression against Iran while Washington and Tehran were in a process of nuclear negotiations. The Israeli attack triggered a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.
The United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of international law.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the aggression.
