Trump issues new chilling war warning to Iran | World | News

Fears the US may attack Iran erupted once again on Friday after Donald Trump issued a thinly-veiled threat to «difficult» Iran.

“We have a situation right now where we have sent a very big carrier group to Iran,” Trump said speaking to soldiers at Fort Bragg in North Carolina today (February 13). “I would love to see if we could make a deal. They’ve been difficult to make a deal with,” he also added.

Quoted by the Times of Israel, he said: “I thought we would have had a deal last time. They wish they did and that’s what we did, Midnight Hammer,” Trump says, referring to the June operation in which the US struck several of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“Sometimes you have to have fear. That’s the only thing that really will get the situation taken care of,” he also added.
