U.S. President Donald Trump indicates he’ll be making a decision on a potential strike against Iran in the next 10 days.
Recalling the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June during his remarks at the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace, Trump said: “Now, we may have to take it a step further — or we may not. Maybe we’re going to make a deal.
“You’re going to be finding out over the next, probably 10 days.”
Trump reiterates that Iran “can’t have a nuclear weapon. You can’t have peace in the Middle East if they have a nuclear weapon,” he says.
“Now is the time for Iran to join us on a path that will complete what we’re doing,” Trump says.
“If they join us, that’ll be great. If they don’t join us, that’ll be great too. But it’ll be a very different path,” Trump continues. “They cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region.”
“They must make a deal. If that doesn’t happen… bad things will happen,” he adds.
Addressing the Board of Peace inaugural session, US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz hails the aid effort for Gaza since the October 2025 ceasefire.
He says over 70 countries are participating in the US-led Civil-Military Command Center in southern Israel.
Waltz says 4,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza each week for 13 consecutive weeks — “the longest stretch of high volume assistance to Gaza in years.”
While assistance has indeed increased significantly, aid organizations have argued that Israeli restrictions on “dual-use items” have prevented much-needed shelter supplies from entering the Strip.
Still, the uptick in aid has led to a massive decrease in diversion, which Waltz says is down to 1 percent.
Waltz says drinking water in Gaza has also doubled this month and child malnutrition has been cut in half.
