President Donald Trump uses address at Saudi summit to warn Iran that it must decide “right now” whether it wants to reach a new nuclear deal with the US – but warns of economic repercussions without mention of military strikes.
President Donald Trump warned Tehran Tuesday that Iran must commit “right now” to ending its atomic program with new nuclear deal, or else face “massive maximum pressure.”
Iran’s nuclear program and its proxy wars across the Middle East featured prominently in Trump’s address at an economic summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, which brought together delegations from Gulf countries, including Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.
During his address, Trump reiterated his criticism of the Biden administration, arguing that its decision to soften sanctions on Iran enabled Tehran to fund terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah, thus facilitating the invasion of October 7th, 2023, and the attacks on northern Israel beginning a day later.
