President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, threatening "very, very powerful" attacks if a peace deal is not finalized. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump indicated that while the U.S. and Iran were nearing an agreement, he accused Tehran of stalling the process.
"We're going to attack them, attack them very strongly," Trump said, according to Reuters. He emphasized the desire for a "significant" and "working" deal, suggesting that Iran's alleged delay tactics were unacceptable.
We're going to attack them, attack them very strongly.
The U.S. president reiterated his claim that Iran has already committed to not acquiring nuclear weapons. However, he noted that the agreement still requires a final signature, a step that has yet to occur.
Details regarding the specific terms of the potential peace deal or the nature of the "new attacks" were not provided. Iran has not yet officially commented on Trump's latest statements.
We want a deal that is significant, we want a deal that works.
