President Donald Trump said Iran wants to sign a nuclear agreement and return to normal life, according to a statement from his remarks. At the same time, Trump threatened that if Iran does not sign, the United States will resume military action as it did in the Soleimani assassination and with B2 bombers, according to the same source.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran wants to sign the nuclear deal and return to normal life, but threatened that if it does not sign, the United States will resume military action of the kind used in the Soleimani assassination and with B2 bombers, according to journalist Amit Segal (N12). The remark was reported at 13:56 Jerusalem — simultaneous with a separate Trump statement, also at 13:56, in which he said the MOU with Iran is not final and warned of renewed bombing if dissatisfied. The two statements are distinct threads in the same hour: one frames Iranian intent, the other conditions the MOU. The specified military precedents — Soleimani's killing and B2 operations — are new in this statement, though they echo threats The Zioneer has previously covered.
