'Major Military Punishment Will Be Inflicted': US President Donald Trump Warns Iran, Houthis Over Renewed Ship Attacks

Meanwhile, according to a report by Al Jazeera, Tehran has nearly $100bn in assets frozen by other countries and beyond its control.

As the standoff continues between the two warring adversaries, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Thursday took a dig at officials in the US administration and said that the aggression being advocated by them will backfire.

He said on X, "Compromised individuals in the U.S. administration are burying their heads in the sand. They ignore the realities on the ground and seem focused only on 2028. The mindless aggression they advocate will only ensure that POTUS pays heavier price for deal he's trying to achieve."

The latest Truth Social post follows after Trump on Thursday reiterated his stance that Tehran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons and that Washington is doing "extremely well" as the conflict continues between the two adversaries.

The US President said, "We're doing very well against the Islamic Republic of Iran--we're doing extremely well. They would like to do something, but I say they're not ready yet. They need more of the same. They've got some evil intentions. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon."

Trump said that Iran cannot be allowed to even consider acquiring nuclear weapons.

He added, "We cannot let them even think about having nuclear weapons and that is exactly what is happening. They will never have a nuclear weapon... This should've been done by other American Presidents or other countries. It didn't have to be us but if we don't do it nobody else will, but I will and nobody else has the capability to do it."
