Senior Iranian officials are threatening to ramp up the country's nuclear program as the Trump administration weighs a possible strike against the regime if Tehran does not come to the table for negotiations. Experts warn that Iran has used negotiating as a delaying tactic in the past and caution against entering into talks that might further embolden Iran. The U.S. is increasing its military presence in the region, deploying additional squadrons of fighter jets, bombers, and predator drones. President Trump has expressed interest in making a deal with Iran, but experts argue that the regime is much weaker than it appears and that the Trump administration should impose full pressure on Iran.
