Trump on Negotiations with Iran: We Don't Want the Military Option - Jordan News
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday, 'It would be great if we could reach an agreement with Iran without dropping bombs all over the Middle East.' اضافة اعلان Speaking at a press conference at the White House, Trump added: 'Iran must not be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon—it's as simple as that,' emphasizing that while Iran wants a deal, 'the United States does not want the military option.' This statement coincided with remarks reported by Iran's Fars News Agency, quoting an Iranian official who said that 'the U.S. president's threat to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities is a clear red line and will have serious consequences.' The official added, 'If the United States is truly seeking a diplomatic solution, it must abandon the language of threats and sanctions,' calling such threats 'a blatant act of hostility against Iran's national interests.' Meanwhile, Vahid Ahmadi, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, suggested that Tehran may reach a 'temporary and limited agreement' with the United States as part of ongoing indirect talks between the two sides.

Trump's threat to destroy Iran nuclear sites a clear red line
DUBAI (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities is a clear red line and will have severe consequences, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported on Friday. "If U.S. seeks a diplomatic solution, it must abandon the language of threats and sanctions," an unnamed Iranian official said, adding that such threats "are open hostility against Iran's national interests." Trump told reporters on Wednesday at the White House: 'I want it (nuclear agreement) very strong where we can go in with inspectors, we can take whatever we want, we can blow up whatever we want, but nobody getting killed. We can blow up a lab, but nobody is gonna be in a lab, as opposed to everybody being in the lab and blowing it up.' Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities if diplomacy fails to resolve a decades-long dispute over Tehran's nuclear programme. Trump said on Friday that an Iran deal was possible in the "not-too-distant future."
