Trump compares US approach in Iran to Venezuela, prefers deal

US President Donald Trump said Washington is "doing the same thing" in Iran as in Venezuela, citing military strikes that have weakened Tehran while leaving room for negotiations. Speaking in Las Vegas on Wednesday, he claimed a larger attack was planned but halted after Iran sought talks. Trump reiterated that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons and expressed preference for a diplomatic solution, drawing parallels to US actions against the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
