If Iran does not agree on his nuclear program with the United States, President Donald Trump threatens bombing and punitive tariffs.
US President Donald Trump threatened Iran on Sunday bombing and punitive tariffs if the government in Tehran should not agree on his nuclear program with Washington. « If you do not reach an agreement, there will be bombs, » said Trump in a telephone interview with the broadcaster NBC. « But it is possible that if you do not make a deal, secondary tays will impose as I did four years ago, » he added.
Trump said after his Iranian counterpart had rejected direct negotiations with the US government. « We answered the letter from the US President about Oman and rejected the option of direct discussions, but are open to indirect negotiations, » said Pezeshkian on Sunday at a cabinet meeting in Tehran. Iran is not against negotiations, said Pezeshkian, but the United States would have to correct its “misconduct” in the past and create a new basis of trust, according to the President, according to the ISNA news agency.
Trump had already had a new nuclear agreement in a letter to the Supreme Guide of the Islamic Republic, Ajatollah Ali Khamenei, the Iran of military consequences. « There are two ways to deal with Iran: militarily or you close a deal, » wrote Trump at the time.
In his part, Iran threatens to attack US military base points
Iran, on the other hand, threatened the United States with attacks on its military bases in the region if the US government should make its own threat and attack the Islamic Republic. « When the Americans attack Iran’s holiness, the entire region will explode like a spark in a ammunition camp, » said Parliament President Mohammad Qalibaf two days ago. « Your bases and those of their allies will not be safe. »
During his first term in office, US President Trump had unilaterally released the Vienna nuclear Agreement in 2018, which provides for a restriction of the nuclear program for the abolition of international sanctions. Since then, Tehran has also not been sticking to the requirements.
As a result of the international sanctions, Iran is in the worst economic crisis in its history. According to observers, only direct negotiations from the actually oil-rich state could lead to the Trump administration to abolish sanctions and, accordingly, also defuse the crisis. Tehran is also political in difficulties. His Middle East Policy has faltered with the weakening of the self -proclaimed “axis of resistance” against archenemy Israel. (APA/dpa/Reuters)
