President Donald Trump issued a big reminder to Iran on Sunday, threatening that the United States will rocket the nation’s leading state sponsor of terrorism” the likes of which they have never seen before” if Iran does not “make a offer” regarding its nuclear weapons program.
According to Fox News, the 47th government’s letter to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei attempting to start strong negotiations with Iran over its nuclear weapons program was rejected by Iran’s state on Sunday.
In a Sunday meeting with NBC News, Trump threatened,” If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before”.
Trump also told NBC News,” There’s a possibility that if they don’t make a deal, that I may do extra tariffs on them like I did four years ago”.
The Times of Israel recently reported that Trump issued another sturdy statement against the world’s major sponsor of terrorism on Friday, saying,” I sent them a letter simply late, and I said: you have to make a decision, one way or the other, and we either have to talk and talk it out or really bad things are going to happen to Iran”.

Fox News reported that Iranian President Masoud confirmed on Sunday that the Islamic Republic of Iran had rejected direct negotiations with the United States regarding its nuclear weapons program.
In a statement obtained by Fox News, Pezeshkian said,” Direct negotiations]with the US] have been rejected, but Iran has always been involved in indirect negotiations, and now too, the Supreme Leader]Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] has emphasized that indirect negotiations can still continue”.
Following Trump’s threat that the United States could bomb Iran if the country does not accept a nuclear deal, Esmaeil Baghaei, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, issued a statement on X condemning the president’s threat as a violation of the United Nations Charter and the safeguards outlined by the International Atomic Energy Agency
Baghaei wrote,” An open threat of’ bombing’ by a head of state against , Iran , is a shocking affront to the very essence of international peace and security”.
” Violence breeds violence, peace begets peace”, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson added. ” The U. S. can choose the course and concede to consequences”.
