Trump issues threats of 'massive' strike, but then says Iran is 'very serious' about talks?

President Donald Trump, speaking in the Oval Office, said the U.S. is “locked and loaded” and weighing a “massive” strike on Iran but stressed that Washington and Tehran are also “talking seriously,” describing two paths ahead: continuing and even intensifying military attacks to “take them apart piece by piece,” or reaching a deal that guarantees Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon”; he refused to answer a question on whether blowing up civilian power plants and bridges would be a war crime, said he’s “not in a hurry” despite election pressures, and claimed that Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others are engaged in ongoing contacts with Iran.
