Trump warns Iran will face 'incredible consequences' if it gets nuclear weapon

U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, stating the country would face "incredible consequences" if it ever acquired nuclear weapons. Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Évian, France, Trump asserted that Iran would not develop, purchase, or otherwise acquire a nuclear bomb.

"They are not going to get it, they are not going to do anything with it, and if they do, they will suffer incredible consequences," Trump told reporters. He further emphasized, "They will not develop, buy, or otherwise acquire a nuclear weapon, if they do hell will break loose on them and they will not do it."

Separately, Trump indicated that he has never been interested in regime change in Iran. He suggested that dialogue with the current leadership could lead to a formal peace agreement, potentially by the end of the week in Geneva. "The first group (of Iranian leaders) is dead, the second is dead, part of the third has disappeared, and now we are dealing with people whom I consider very rational," he said.

Trump described negotiations with Iranian leaders as pleasant, characterizing them as "strong and intelligent people" who are "not radicalized and want to help their country." The article notes that an agreement between Iran and the United States, mediated by Pakistan, would end a conflict that began on February 28, impacting the Middle East and global economy due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transport route.
