Back out of what exactly? He’s not committed to anything. That’s where I’m lost.

He didn’t say “we will absolutely attack them in 2 weeks”.

Your interpretation that Trump's threat is hollow rings true.

As usual, he's all bluster and no bite.

As I said, he won't follow through with his threats because...

PS: How's that "I'll stop the Russia /Ukraine war Day One" promise of Donnie going?

PER CNN:


President Donald Trump’s decision to open a two-week negotiating window before deciding on striking Iran sets off an urgent effort to restart talks that had been deadlocked when Israel began its bombing campaign last week.

The hope among Trump and his advisers is that Iran — under constant Israeli attack and having suffered losses to its missile arsenal — will relent on its hardline position and agree to terms it had previously rejected, including abandoning its enrichment of uranium, according to US officials.

The deferred decision, which came after days of increasingly martial messages from the president suggesting he was preparing to order a strike, also gives Trump more time to weigh the potential consequences — including the chance it could drag the United States into the type of foreign conflict he promised to avoid.

“I think the president has made it clear he always wants to pursue diplomacy. But believe me, the president is unafraid to use strength if necessary,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday after relaying Trump’s new two-week timeline. “And Iran and the entire world should know that the United States military is the strongest and most lethal fighting force in the world, and we have capabilities that no other country on this planet possesses.”

That’s so many words for such a short question and I’m a few bourbons in. What threat are you claiming he made?

Yes, President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran on multiple occasions in 2025, primarily in the context of Iran's nuclear program. On March 30, 2025, Trump explicitly stated in an NBC News interview that if Iran did not agree to a nuclear deal with the United States, "there will be bombing," describing it as "bombing the likes of which they have never seen before." He also mentioned the possibility of imposing secondary tariffs if no deal was reached.

Additionally, on June 13, 2025, following Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, Trump issued a warning via Truth Social, urging Iran to make a nuclear deal to avoid further "planned attacks," stating that failure to do so would lead to "more brutal" consequences. These threats were part of a broader escalation, with Trump emphasizing that Iran must not acquire a nuclear weapon and suggesting military action as a potential response if diplomatic efforts failed.

While Trump expressed a preference for a diplomatic resolution, his rhetoric consistently included the threat of military action, particularly targeting Iran's nuclear facilities like Fordow, which he discussed in relation to the use of U.S. "bunker buster" bombs. However, he also maintained ambiguity about direct U.S. involvement, stating on June 18, 2025, "I may do it, I may not do it. Nobody knows what I’m going to do," regarding potential U.S. military strikes.

Iran's leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responded defiantly, warning of "irreparable consequences" and a "strong reciprocal blow" if the U.S. acted on these threats. Despite the threats, Trump also indicated ongoing indirect negotiations with Iran, suggesting a dual approach of pressure and diplomacy.

These statements and actions reflect a pattern of using military threats to coerce Iran into nuclear negotiations, though no direct U.S. strikes on Iran had been confirmed as of June 20, 2025.

“There will be bombing” if they don’t agree to a deal.

It seems like that was accurate. I’m really not seeing what you feel he’s “chickening out” of? I didn’t read a statement that he would personally drop them

It’s a weird thing. It’s also weird that you guys seem to want to try to pressure the president into positions you know are bad positions (attack Iran! Keep high tariffs!)

Did the United States threaten to bomb Iran 2025

Yes, there were reports in 2025 indicating that the United States, under President Donald Trump, threatened military action against Iran, specifically targeting its nuclear facilities, if Iran did not agree to a new nuclear deal. These threats were part of a broader escalation in tensions, with Trump emphasizing that Iran must not develop nuclear weapons. For instance, on March 30, 2025, Trump stated that "there will be a bombing" if Iran did not make progress toward a nuclear agreement, alongside threats of imposing secondary tariffs on countries trading with Iran. Additionally, throughout June 2025, Trump’s rhetoric intensified, including calls for Iran’s "unconditional surrender" and warnings about striking nuclear sites like the Fordo facility if diplomatic efforts failed. These statements were accompanied by U.S. military buildup in the Middle East, including the deployment of B-2 stealth bombers and additional forces, signaling preparedness for potential strikes.

Last post tonight about this.

Per BBC:

US President Donald Trump said Iran had a "maximum" of two weeks to avoid possible American air strikes, suggesting that he could take a decision before the 14-day deadline he set on Thursday.

"I'm giving them a period of time, and I would say two weeks would be the maximum," Trump told reporters.

The aim, he said, was to "see whether or not people come to their senses".

SPOILER: The aim is moot. Trump ain't gonna bomb nobody. Israel is basically on its own here.

It’s Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit single barrel for me tonight…and Trump shouldn’t even be considering a strike against Iran at this point. Leave it the F alone and let Israel continue to handle this. This is where I hope TACO shows up. Stay out of this thing aside from the support we already offer Israel.

I still don’t see the specific threat. “Possible airstrikes”. You’re trying to hard on this one.
