US President Donald Trump warned that Iran would face bombing if he continued to develop nuclear weapons.
“If the agreement does not commit, there will be a bombing,” Trump said on Saturday in an interview with NBC News. He also threatened further economic pressure through “secondary tariffs” to discourage Iranian nuclear activities.
Interviews with Iran and stopped negotiations
Despite the hard rhetoric, Trump acknowledged that we and Iranian officials were talking, even if he did not provide details.
His latest comments escalated his previous warning that if Tehran refuses to negotiate a new nuclear agreement, “Iran will become bad, bad things”.
At the beginning of March, Trump revealed that he had sent a letter to Iran’s highest leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s design of negotiations. But Tehran was reluctant to be involved directly with Washington and after the non -imagination after the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement.
The risk of regional escalation
It remains unclear whether Trump’s threat includes a unilateral US military event or coordination with Israel. Analysts warn as the AFP report that Iran can be just a few weeks after the production of additional nuclear weapons, even if Tehran denies such abilities.
The military event brings the risk of further escalation of conflicts in the region. The ongoing war of Israel Hamas, associated with American air strikes focused on Iranian -supported Houthi rebels in Yemen, increased tension.
Answer and Conditions of Iran for Interviews
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signaled openness to indirect interviews through intermediaries such as Oman, but insisted that the US must first build confidence.
“We are not avoiding interviews; it is a violation of the promises that have caused problems for us,” Pezshkian said at the TV meeting of the cabinet. “They have to prove that they can build confidence.”
The US commitment from preventing nuclear Iran
The US Foreign Ministry reaffirmed Trump’s attitude to prevent Iran from preventing nuclear weapons.
“President Trump was clear: the United States cannot allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon,” the department said. “If the Iranian regime does not want an agreement, the President is clear, he will look for other options that will be very bad for Iran.”
Continued tension and historical distrust
Iranian unwillingness to deal with Trump is rooted in previous hostilities, including the American strike of drones, which in January 2020 killed Iranian General Qasso Soleimani. The US accused the rendering of retaliation against Trump, the claim that Tehran denied.
The February report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) indicated that Iran accelerated its production of uranium to almost weapons, which further stimulated concerns about the impending crisis.
