President Trump has careening toward a confrontation with Iran and stalemated North Korea after he vow to solve two different nuclear crises. Iran made an announcement on Monday that it expects within 10 days to see how much nuclear fuel needed to open a new and perilous phase of its confrontation with the West.

Iran has been restraint for a year in which the country complied with an agreement that Mr. Trump publicly abandoned. The effort to drive Iran to the negotiating table may push the two countries into a conflict in which both sides insist they do not want.

Iran is one year away from being able to build a weapon while on the other hand, North Korea has dozens of weapons. Furthermore, according to American intelligence experts, despite Mr. Trump’s insistent in wooing Kim Jong-Un, North Korea appears to be adding its arsenal at a rapid clip.

Iran’s threats is seen as a call to resume nuclear production, leading to a decision to send 1,000 troops to the region on Monday. Mr. Trump is so invested that his relationship with the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un leading to an actively dismisses evidence that North Korea’s collection of weapons is expanding.
