Speaking to reporters in Washington, Trump said that the US has contingency plans for 'everything.' The president insisted the US does not seek war with Iran, but reaffirmed that preventing Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons remains a non-negotiable priority. 'We're not looking for a ceasefire—we're looking for total victory,' he declared. Trump noted that he had just discussed the situation with the Pakistani Chief of Staff and said he believes Iran was 'weeks away' from acquiring a nuclear weapon before the strikes.
