'If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing'

The headline says it all. It is a direct quote from President Donald Trump. He is speaking directly, clearly, forcefully about the choice that lies before Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the “supreme leader” of Iran: Dismantle the nuclear program or “there will be bombing.”

On Monday, the president briefed reporters on the first direct talks between his special envoy on the Middle East, Steven Witkoff, and Iran’s foreign minister and others in the Iranian delegation to the Oman talks about the Islamic Republic regime’s rush to get nuclear weapons as well as intercontinental ballistic missiles: “They might be tapping us along,” the developer-turned-television star-turned president remarked.
