Summary

Donald Trump warned Iran of bombings or renewed tariffs if it refuses a new nuclear deal, echoing policies from his first term.

In an NBC interview, Trump said talks are ongoing but gave no details.

In 2018, he withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement and reimposed sanctions, prompting Iran to exceed uranium enrichment limits.

Tehran has rejected his threats. Iranian officials said they responded via Oman to Trump’s recent letter. Western powers allege Iran seeks weapons capability; Iran insists its program is civilian.

      War will allow him to declare martial law and suspend elections (the Robert’s Court will allow it, just like they did with his absolute immunity.)
      His handlers will want him to do this before 2026 so the house and Senate can’t flip.

    The most peaceful president in history is how he’ll be remembered.

    He’s murdered many innocent people in how many months?

    Pol Pot would be envious.

    If Iran is developing nuclear weapons, the time to do a test detonation would be before America+Israel turn it into another failed state.
