"Despite the heightened tensions, a full-scale war [between the U.S. and Iran] remains unlikely in the immediate term."

"Trump has been clear in his desire to resolve the issue diplomatically and avoid war [with Iran] in the Middle East."

"Despite all the hysteria of war, I'm not really seeing that on the horizon."

"It is highly unlikely that Trump will bomb Iran, not least because he vowed on the presidential campaign trail not to drag the United States into a war."

"The potential of some kind of conflict with Iran escalating into a larger regional war is very real, possibly more real than ever."

"The United States now seems close to a direct conflict that Biden (and Iran) have worked hard to avoid."

"[A] full-scale war is hardly inevitable."

"If they [Iran] don't make a deal [with the US], there will be bombing."

"No, we're not thinking about nuclear weapons."

"We have no intention of obtaining these weapons at all."

"Iran doesn't have nukes, isn't building nukes, and hasn't made the decision to build nukes."

"Iran doesn't have a bomb, and doesn't appear to be trying to make a bomb."

"They are definitely going for a nuclear weapon there is no question."

"They can have [a nuclear weapon], you know, in a matter of months, I would say."

Iran could produce a nuclear weapon "within a few months, less than a year."

Will Iran Possess a Nuclear Weapon?

The Trump administration deported approximately 50 to 55 Iranian nationals on a chartered flight from Mesa, Arizona on December 7, 2025, marking the second such deportation under a deal reached between Washington and Tehran two months prior to coordinate returns.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated the deportations were based on political grounds and anti-migrant policies that violate international law, while a US official described the operation as a routine deportation flight including nationals from multiple countries.

The flight made stops in Egypt and Kuwait, with Arab and Russian nationals disembarking in Cairo before Iranian deportees continued to Kuwait to transfer to a Kuwait Airways plane for the final leg to Tehran, according to Iranian officials familiar with the transfer.

Representative Yassamin Ansari, a Democrat from Arizona, warned the flight could include vulnerable individuals who could face persecution if returned to Iran, while Iranian officials claimed deportees had expressed willingness to return due to treatment in US detention facilities.

The first deportation flight in September carried 120 Iranians to Tehran via Qatar, with at least eight passengers claiming they resisted deportation and feared for their lives, and several deportees reporting subsequent interrogation by Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps intelligence wing.
