The world braces for escalating tensions as former U.S. President Donald Trump delivers a chilling ultimatum to Iran—either agree to nuclear negotiations or face devastating military strikes and crushing tariffs.
In a shocking statement during a Sunday phone interview with NBC News, Trump didn’t mince words: “If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombings—something they’ve never seen before.”
This fiery declaration follows Iran’s recent refusal to engage in direct talks with Washington. While Trump confirmed that backchannel negotiations are still in motion, he remained vague on the details.
THE TARIF WARFARE RETURNS?

Trump also hinted at the return of secondary tariffs, targeting not just Iran but also Russia. These economic penalties, which impact foreign buyers dealing with sanctioned nations, were previously deployed during his administration. “I did it before, and it worked. If they stall, I will impose them again,” he warned.
IRAN STANDS FIRM—BUT FOR HOW LONG?
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded with defiance, reaffirming Tehran’s stance against direct negotiations under pressure. However, he admitted that indirect diplomatic channels remain open, per guidance from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Meanwhile, the West continues to suspect Iran’s uranium enrichment program is a veiled attempt at nuclear weapon development—a claim Tehran vehemently denies, insisting its nuclear advancements are purely for civilian energy.
As the world watches, one question looms: Will Trump’s threats push Iran to the table—or push the region into chaos? 🌍🔥
