President Trump said he is 'furious' that Iran keeps stalling the nuclear deal and threatened to attack them today, according to i24NEWS. The report also notes that Iran is re-evaluating its negotiations with the US after the American strikes last night.
President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Iran sharply on Wednesday, telling i24NEWS he is 'furious' that Tehran continues to 'stall' on a nuclear deal and vowing to strike Iran 'today.' The remarks come as Iran reportedly reconsiders its negotiating posture following the heavy US airstrikes last night. As The Zioneer has reported throughout the day, Trump has been steadily increasing pressure on Iran. Earlier today he said the overnight strikes destroyed approximately 55% of Iran's rebuilt air defenses, and separately threatened to 'hit Iran very hard today.' The White House has framed the military campaign as a bid to force Iran back to the negotiating table. The i24NEWS report, which cites the president directly, is currently single-sourced. No independent confirmation of an imminent new strike wave has been published, and Iran's official response to the ultimatum has not yet been reported.
