Trump Demands Comprehensive Agreement with Iran, Threatens Force if Diplomacy Fails

Trump demanded that any future agreement must include more than just preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. He said negotiators had largely agreed to sanctions related to nuclear weapons development, but he pushed for specific wording. He said that if a deal was reached, Washington would work with Iran to remove and destroy enriched uranium. Trump said he wanted the agreement to ensure that Iran could not develop or purchase nuclear weapons or related capabilities. Trump said Iranian negotiators initially opposed the proposal, but later softened their stance. Trump indicated that the US military was prepared to use force if diplomacy failed. Trump told NBC News, "We're very close to an agreement, if not, I would take tremendous action on them." Trump also said that he was prepared to talk to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Moazzak Khamenei.
