Trump Warns of Bombing and Tariffs if Iran Fails to Strike Nuclear Deal
US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran could face bombings if it does not agree to a nuclear deal with the United States. In an interview with NBC News, Trump also said he may impose secondary tariffs on Tehran, similar to those enforced during his previous term.
"If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing. But there’s a chance that if they don’t make a deal, I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago," he said.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has dismissed direct negotiations with Washington, citing a lack of trust after the US pulled out of the 2015 nuclear agreement. However, he has hinted at the possibility of indirect talks through intermediaries such as Oman.
Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated further, with the US recently carrying out airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Meanwhile, the deployment of B-2 stealth bombers to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean suggests a possible preparation for military action if diplomatic efforts fail.
