Washington: Donald Trump, the President of the US, reiterated yet another warning for Iran to conclude nuclear agreements with Washington rather quickly, or face coming destruction.
In a brief chat albeit with pressmen in the White House, Trump said it would bring forth a lot of tragic consequences should we fail to ensure a nuclear deal is developed.
“We must make a deal, otherwise it’s going to be a very bad situation for them,” he said. He wanted a diplomatic solution but hastened toward talks; he presumed the other side to react naturally in prompting the fast movement.
The “Roadmap” Goes On
Regarding timing, Trump opined that developments must work in weeks.
“I guess over the next month-it should happen quickly. They should agree very quickly,” he noted.
He threatened that Iran is left with no opportunity if it does not sign the ‘fair deal’. “If they don’t make a deal, then it’ll be a different story,” he warned, instead of saying on the issue they would pursue precise measures.
Meeting with Netanyahu
Trump had met with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the previous day. He mentioned that discussions are in a good stage and he will eventually make the final decision concerning the deal.
“I’ll talk to them as much as I want and we’ll see if we can get a deal,” the president said. “And if we can’t, we’ll have to go to Phase 2. Phase 2 will be very tough for them.”
Trump gave no details concerning the details of “Phase2.”
Nuclear positions stayed at the heart of West Asian tensions. Since the first Trump administration, the United States walked away from the 2015 nuclear agreement, heightening tensions both over uranium enrichment and regional security.
Besides the continuous diplomatic engagements, latest rhetoric suggests the U. S. is maintaining pressure for Iran to speedily accede to a revised nuclear accord.
Broader Horizons
Any aggravation between the US and Iran would intensify into a broad geopolitical and economic challenge, especially for energy markets. States like India, highly dependent on procuring crude oil from West Asia and with large expat populations in the Arab Gulf, are closely eyeing the developments.
As of now, the future remains hostage to renewed talk about a mutually acceptable resolution, or whether hostility starts materializing in the form that Trump’s called, a tougher “Phase 2.”
