President Trump's latest attempt at diplomacy with Iran's terrorist regime has hit a brick wall, with senior administration officials now openly discussing military options as the Islamic Republic continues to thumb its nose at American power.
Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff spent three grueling hours in Geneva on Tuesday trying to reason with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi – only to walk away empty-handed as the mullahs in Tehran refuse to abandon their nuclear weapons program.
The failed negotiations are being called a "nothing burger" by frustrated U.S. officials who say Iran is simply buying time while secretly advancing their bomb-making capabilities. This is the same playbook the regime used during Obama's disastrous Iran nuclear deal that handed billions to the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Trump's Patience Wearing Thin
Unlike his predecessor, President Trump isn't interested in appeasing Iran with pallets of cash and empty promises. Sources close to the administration say Trump would prefer a diplomatic solution but won't allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons on his watch – period.
"The President has made it clear that all options remain on the table," one senior official told reporters. "Iran's window for cooperation is rapidly closing."
"We gave diplomacy a real shot, but you can't negotiate with people who want to see America burn," said a frustrated White House insider.
Israeli allies are also losing patience with Iran's stalling tactics, with Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly telling Trump that military action may be the only language Tehran understands. Iran's continued support for Hamas terrorists and Hezbollah proxies has only strengthened the case for decisive action.
The American people elected Trump to project strength, not to coddle rogue regimes that chant "Death to America" in their parliament. If Iran's ayatollahs think they can outlast Trump like they did with Biden's weakness, they're about to learn a very painful lesson about American resolve.
The question now isn't whether Trump will act – it's when. Iran had their chance at the negotiating table and blew it. Time to face the consequences.
