U.S. President Donald Trump has said he would consider bombing Iran again if Iran continues uranium enrichment. On June 27, 2025, he warned that U.S. forces remain “on guard” and that “absolutely, without question” he could order another strike.
This comes after Iran’s recent decision to ramp up its nuclear program and halt inspections. Trump’s warning shows he wants to keep strong pressure on Iran to stop its nuclear advancements.
Why Trump Dropped the Sanctions Relief Plan for Iran
Earlier this year, Trump had reportedly been considering easing some sanctions on Iran. The idea was to create a space for negotiations and encourage Iran to slow down or pause its nuclear work. However, this possibility ended quickly when Iran refused the deal and pulled out of inspection agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Trump saw Iran’s rejection as a sign of disrespect and aggression. He later said that Iran must show “respect for America” before the U.S. would even think about restarting talks. Instead of giving Iran economic relief, Trump decided to double down on pressure. This means more financial restrictions, more trade blocks, and possibly freezing assets related to Iran’s nuclear and military sectors. U.s News
How Trump Links Bombing Iran and Use of Sanctions Together
Trump sees military action and economic sanctions as a two-part package. He said that while he prefers sanctions, he won’t hesitate to use force. He pointed out that economic pressure might slow Iran but adding the threat of bombing makes the sanctions stronger.

In simple terms, he believes that Iran must feel both the weight of money loss and the fear of attack to stop nuclear efforts.
What Ordinary Americans Think About Trump’s Tough Stand on Iran
Public opinion in the U.S. is divided. Among Trump’s supporters, especially within the Republican base, there is strong backing for a hardline approach. A recent poll found that nearly 80% of Republicans believe Iran poses a serious threat and agree with using military pressure to stop them.
However, others especially moderates and Democrats are concerned. They feel that focusing too much on foreign threats may take attention away from urgent domestic problems like healthcare, the economy, and education. They also fear that another war would cost billions of dollars and could harm America’s global reputation.
How American Voters Feel About Bombing Iran Again
Many Americans, especially Republicans, support Trump’s tough talk on Iran. Recent polls show that around 80% of Republicans think military pressure is the right approach.

But some worry that using force again could damage Trump’s plans on issues like the economy and healthcare. They say attention might shift from domestic problems to foreign conflicts, which could cost political support.
How Iran’s Decision to Block Inspections Affects U.S Iran Relations
After Trump’s warning, Iran made a dramatic move. They stopped letting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspect nuclear sites. Their leaders said that allowing inspections again was “not acceptable” at this time.
Trump sees this as Iran being aggressive and believes a strong response is necessary. Without inspections, it’s harder for the U.S. to know exactly what Iran is doing making the threat of a strike more real.
Trump’s Warning Shows How Fragile Peace Is
As Trump exits, he may use force to keep Iran from becoming a nuclear threat. The risk is high because Iran stopped inspections and many Americans support military action.
But whether threats and sanctions work is unclear. The future depends on Iran’s next move and whether both nations can find a diplomatic alternative. What happens now could shape U.S. Iran relations for years to come.
