U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated tensions with Iran by threatening bombings and secondary tariffs if Tehran does not agree to a new nuclear deal. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump warned, “If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before,” emphasizing the urgency of reaching an agreement. He also suggested imposing secondary tariffs similar to those used in the past to pressure Iran economically.
