U.S. Will Have to Do ‘Something Very Tough’ If No Deal Reached With Iran, Says Trump

(Reuters) – The United States will have to do “something very tough” if a deal is not reached with Iran, President Donald Trump told Israel’s Channel 12 in an interview published online on Tuesday.

“Either we reach a deal or we’ll have to do something very tough,” it quoted Trump as saying.

Trump has said he is considering sending a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East, Axios and Channel 12 reported, amid simmering tensions between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear programme and over its recent crackdown on protesters.
