In response to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s statement of “never surrendering,” U.S. President Donald Trump remarked, “Good luck.” The comment was made during a conversation with journalists at the White House on Wednesday (June 18, 2025), as reported by Hindustan Times. This statement comes at a time when Trump is reportedly showing growing interest in using U.S. military force against Iran’s nuclear facilities while moving away from diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict.
When asked about the limits of his patience with Iran, Trump stated, “It’s already run out, which is why we’re doing what we’re doing.” However, he remained vague on the prospect of military intervention in Iran, saying, “An attack on Iran might happen, or it might not.” Trump also claimed that Iran is now seeking negotiations after finding itself in trouble, adding that earlier talks could have reduced their predicament.
Trump’s apparent shift away from diplomatic solutions to the Iran-Israel conflict has raised concerns about escalating tensions in the Middle East. He declined to comment further on potential negotiations with Iran, leaving the situation ambiguous and potentially volatile.
