US President Donald Trump issued a direct threat to Iran in an interview with Fox News today (Tuesday). Trump presented an unequivocal military ultimatum: if Tehran does not sign a nuclear deal, the US will destroy Iranian power plants and nuclear facilities within one day. He revealed that the US is closely monitoring the secret facility at Mount Khoosh, and made clear he does not need updates from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump accused Iran of employing evasion tactics in the talks, and claimed that although they are ongoing, Iran denies their existence. The dramatic threat comes against the backdrop of ongoing nuclear talks and reflects the hawkish stance of the US under the Trump administration.
