Trump says Iran cannot 'in any way, shape or form' have a nuclear weapon

The president did not specify what actions he would take, and he has on other occasions abandoned threats to dramatically escalate the war with Iran.

It comes after a 60-day ceasefire expired on Monday, with no sign of a diplomatic or military off-ramp to the conflict.

The announcement extends a pressure campaign the Trump administration has waged since April under the banner Operation Economic Fury.

Trump declared "economic warfare" against Iran, warning that any nation or business providing a financial lifeline to the regime will face severe, unprecedented sanctions.

After racing through his second-term agenda, the president is now taking his time on his signature policies — sometimes not by choice.

In Iran itself, the constant threat that the war could restart has brought the country to a virtual standstill.

Iran has survived decades of sanctions. Faced with more, it is likely to escalate rather than surrender, analysts said.

Trump administration has reportedly opened back-channel discussions with Iran
