Trump Threatens ‘Great Danger’ for Iran: In a major development amid growing tension in the Middle East, former US President Donald Trump announced that the United States will hold direct talks with Iran to discuss its nuclear programme. Speaking at the White House after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said that the discussions would take place soon and involve top-level officials. However, he did not reveal where the talks would be held or who would participate.
Trump stated that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains a priority. He firmly stated that Tehran must not obtain such dangerous capabilities. While he expressed hope for a peaceful agreement, he also warned that if negotiations fail, Iran would face “great danger.” He hinted at serious consequences but avoided mentioning specific military actions.
The US president further said, “Doing a deal would be better than doing the obvious,” suggesting that diplomacy is his preferred option. However, he also added that if the talks collapse, it could turn out to be a “very bad day” for Iran.
During Trump’s first term, he withdrew the US from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which was originally signed under President Barack Obama. That deal had involved other global powers including the UK, France, Germany, Russia and China. It had led to the lifting of major international sanctions on Iran in return for Iran limiting its nuclear activities.
Trump justified his earlier decision to scrap the deal by saying that the agreement was weak and allowed Iran to regain strength. He now believes that any new deal would be stronger and more effective.
Netanyahu during his visit supported Trump’s diplomatic efforts and said that both Israel and the US share the same goal — to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. The meeting between Trump and Netanyahu also touched on other sensitive issues such as the Israel-Hamas conflict, Israel’s relationship with Turkey, and the role of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which had previously issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
Meanwhile, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian responded to Trump’s threats by saying that Iran is open to talks but wants to be treated as an equal. He questioned the need for threats, stating that “America is not just humiliating Iran, but also the rest of the world.” Pezeshkian emphasized that trust-building is essential and that broken promises in the past have made Iran cautious.
Earlier, Trump had warned that Iran could face bombings and more sanctions if no agreement is reached. He defended direct talks, saying that speaking face-to-face allows better understanding between
the two sides.
