Trump threatens ‘bad things will happen’ to Iran … in Board of Peace speech

President Donald Trump on Thursday said Iran must reach an agreement with the United States on curbing its’ nuclear program or risk “bad things” as addressed a meeting of his “Board of Peace” at which he touted his supposed progress in ending Israel’s war on Gaza.

The president laid out what appeared to be a new ten-day deadline for Tehran to avoid military action and said talks between American and Iranian officials have been “good.”

“Good talks are being had. It’s proven to be, over the years, not easy to make a meaningful deal with Iran. We have to make a meaningful deal, otherwise bad things happen,” he said, adding that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon” and stressing that military action could come “over the next, probably 10 days” in the absence of an agreement.

Iran, Trump continued, “cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region, and they must make a deal.”

“Or if that doesn’t happen, I maybe can understand if it doesn’t happen … but bad things will happen if it doesn’t,” he said.

The president’s comments come days after talks in Geneva between Iranian representatives and his own envoys had ended without any sort of breakthrough as a massive number of American warplanes continue to assemble in the Middle East region.
