Amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred international headlines by declaring that Iran has a "second chance" to return to the nuclear negotiating table. His remarks come as the Middle East teeters on the brink, with missile exchanges and proxy strikes fueling fears of a broader regional conflict.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Florida, Trump emphasized his hardline stance on Iran while oddly extending an olive branch. "They blew it last time, but maybe this time they’ll choose peace," he said, referencing the 2015 nuclear deal that his administration scrapped in 2018.

The statement comes just hours after Israel struck key Iranian military sites following an alleged drone assault near Tel Aviv. With nuclear fears rising, analysts warn that Trump’s comments may further complicate diplomatic efforts.

Meanwhile, current U.S. officials remain tight-lipped, walking a fine line between supporting Israel and avoiding a new war in the region. All eyes now turn to Tehran's response.
