President Donald Trump indicated that Iran might face bombing if a deal between Washington and Tehran isn't secured, stating the decision point for the Islamic Republic is approaching.
Responding to a journalist's question at a White House press conference about how he planned to make a deal with Tehran, given his view of them as "crazy and irrational partners," Trump said, "We might bomb them. We have to make that decision. We'll bomb them or we'll make a deal. The time is running out. It'll be over very, very soon, one way or the other."
Earlier, Trump did not rule out a resumption of US strikes against Iran, remarking that he always considers it. The US and Israel began striking targets in Iran on February 28th, prompting retaliatory strikes from Iran. A memorandum aimed at initiating a peace agreement process was signed by Washington and Tehran in mid-June. However, a new escalation began three weeks later, with the US accusing the Islamic Republic of attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to renewed exchanges of fire.

President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran if a deal between Washington and Tehran is not reached, stating that the time for a decision regarding the Islamic Republic is approaching.
During a press conference at the White House, journalists asked Trump how he planned to strike a deal with Tehran, given his characterization of them as "crazy and irrational partners."
"We might bomb them. We have to make that decision. We'll bomb them or we'll make a deal. The time is running out. It'll be over very, very soon, one way or the other," the American leader replied.
Over the weekend, Trump did not dismiss the possibility of resuming US strikes against Iran, stating he always considers it.
The US and Israel began striking targets in Iran on February 28th, which the Iranian side responded to with its own attacks. In mid-June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum intended to launch the process of concluding a peace agreement. However, three weeks later, a new round of escalation began: the US accused the Islamic Republic of shelling commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, after which the parties resumed exchanging blows.
