U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning on June 27, vowing to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities if the country resumes nuclear activities, escalating tensions following a June 2025 conflict that damaged Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan sites.
Speaking at a Mar-a-Lago press conference, Trump declared that any move toward nuclear weaponization would trigger “unprecedented” airstrikes, citing Iran’s stockpile of 408.6 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium as a global threat.
The June conflict, involving U.S.-Israeli strikes, destroyed 60% of Natanz’s infrastructure and collapsed Fordow’s entrance, costing Iran $5 billion. Iran’s suspension of IAEA inspections, voted by its parliament on June 24, has heightened fears of a nuclear arms race, with oil prices climbing to $70 per barrel. Trump, leveraging a $900 billion defense budget, pledged to deploy 500 warplanes targeting Iran’s 10 nuclear sites if necessary, emphasizing a “zero-tolerance” policy.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed to rebuild facilities by 2027, warning of potential withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if sanctions intensify. Russia and China criticized Trump’s rhetoric, urging de-escalation, while Qatar-led diplomatic talks aim to resume in Q4 2025. Analysts estimate a 30% risk of renewed conflict, which could disrupt Iran’s 1.5 million barrels daily oil exports, impacting global markets.
