Trump Threatens To Bomb Iran Over Nuclear Weapons Fears

Background

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

WASHINGTON/TEHRAN/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald J. Trump warned Iran Sunday that it will be bombed unless Tehran strikes a deal on its nuclear program.

His comments highlighted concerns within the Trump administration and Israel that the Islamic Republic will soon have atomic weapons as it enriched uranium to nearly weapons-grade levels.

“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” Trump said in a telephone interview with broadcaster NBC News. “It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”

It was not immediately clear whether the U.S. and Israel would jointly carry out these attacks.

Additionally, “There’s a chance that if they don’t make a deal, that I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago,” Trump added.

Last week, Iran rejected direct negotiations with Washington, but Trump revealed Sunday that U.S. and Iranian officials were talking but did not elaborate.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated the policy on Sunday.

MILITARY OPTION

“Direct negotiations [with the US] have been rejected, but Iran has always been involved in indirect negotiations, and now, too, the Supreme Leader has emphasized that indirect negotiations can still continue,” he said, referring to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said earlier that “in order to stop a nuclear Iranian program before it is weaponized, a reliable military option should be on the table.”

However, time for talks was rapidly running out Sunday, with analysts saying Iran may be just weeks away from producing a deliverable nuclear weapon.

Israel and the current Trump administration have both pledged that they will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons, using force if necessary.

Tehran denies it is building nuclear arms, claiming its atomic program is for “peaceful purposes.”

Critics say a possible U.S. strike against Iran risks spreading to a broader conflict in the already turbulent Middle East.
