I hope you will negotiate nuclear weapons deal, Trump tells Iran

Source: The Times

President Trump has written to Iran’s supreme leader, saying that he wants to engage in talks over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and threatening military action if it presses ahead with building a bomb.

“I’ve written them a letter, saying ‘I hope you’re going to negotiate’ because if we have to go in militarily it’s going to be a terrible thing for them,” Trump told Fox Business in an interview that will air in full on Sunday.

Asked about the letter during a meeting with reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, Trump said that he was “down to final strokes with Iran. That’s going to be an interesting time”.

He promised that “something is going to happen very soon”.

Killing the Iran nuclear deal was one of Trump's biggest failures
Six years after the US withdrew from the JCPOA, prospects for its resurrection are dim and Tehran is closer than ever to a bomb

10. Yes. ASAP. And Vance also has to go. At the rate Trump is losing support, maybe it will reach a

point where he can be impeached and removed, and then Vance the evil lackey after him, and Musk also charged and tried for everything he's done to harm the US.

Though I'm still hoping for Earth-loving alien zookeepers to show and collect them, ideally with Putin as well, as harmful examples of our species, and give them a fairly comfy zoo home on some planet far, far away. Trump would have an audience, Musk would have his space travel, Vance would have new powers-that-be to suck up to - which he's so good at - and Putin could be the most widely-traveled Russian leader ever.
