In a recent interview with US media, President Donald Trump made controversial threats against Iran and Russia if agreements cannot be reached with the two countries. Trump expressed frustration over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as well as his belief that Moscow is hindering efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
Regarding Iran, Trump issued a warning that military action could be taken if the country does not agree to a deal on its nuclear program. He also threatened secondary tariffs on Tehran. While Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ruled out direct negotiations with Trump’s administration, he has signaled openness to indirect talks.
In March, Trump wrote a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, urging fresh negotiations or facing the risk of military confrontation. The situation remains tense as both countries navigate their diplomatic relations.
The international community is watching closely as tensions escalate between the US, Iran, and Russia. It remains to be seen how these threats and negotiations will play out and the potential consequences for all involved parties.
