Trump forecasts ‘escalation’ between US and Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump is forecasting an unspecified “escalation” between the US and Iran.
Trump also says Iran is treating the US with more respect, though there is no evidence to support Trump’s claim.
Trump withdrew the US from the Iran nuclear deal earlier this year, reinstating economic sanctions that had been lifted under a deal among Iran, the US and other world powers in exchange for curbs on Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump is asked about Iran at a news conference in Brussels, as he wraps up his participation in a NATO summit.
He says Iran is feeling a lot of pain as a result and that at some point Iran will “call me and they’re going to say let’s make a deal, and we’ll make a deal.”
