President Donald Trump said over the weekend that if Iran’s Islamic regime does not enter into a deal that prevents it from developing a nuclear weapon that the U.S. military will intervene to stop it from acquiring one.
Trump made the remarks during an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo when asked about what kind of a deal he wanted.
“There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal,” Trump said. “I would prefer to make a deal, because I’m not looking to hurt Iran. They’re great people. I know so many Iranians from this country.”
Trump made clear that he was not talking about the country’s leadership, who he said were “very evil people.”
“I would rather negotiate a deal,” he said. “I’m not sure that everybody agrees with me, but we can make a deal that would be just as good as if you won militarily. But the time is happening now. The time is coming up. Something’s going to happen one way or the other. I hope that Iran and I’ve written them a letter saying, I hope you’re going to negotiate, because if we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing for them.”
Trump said in the letter he told them that he “hoped” they would negotiate because the alternative was that the U.S. would “have to do something.”
