Summary
In June 2025, the US attacked Iranian nuclear sites, and President Donald Trump later urged peace. Now, Trump is threatening a bigger attack, using military pressure to push Iran into ending its nuclear program and reducing its military activities. This approach, referred to as the "madman theory," aims to make US rivals uncertain about Trump's limits, hoping to extract concessions without prolonged conflict.
