President Trump warned Sunday that Iran faces bombing “the likes of which they have never seen” if it refuses a new nuclear deal.
Trump’s comments came in an NBC interview that aired Sunday, taped hours before Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected direct negotiations with the White House, while suggesting that indirect talks could continue.
It was Iran’s first official response to a letter that Trump sent earlier this month, in which he urged that a deal be reached over Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump added that Iran could face secondary tariffs if no deal is reached and said that U.S. and Iranian officials are “talking.”
