Paris/Dubai/Washington –
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the start of nuclear talks with the United States, local media said, as his counterpart, Donald Trump, threatened “bad things” if no deal with the Islamic Republic was struck.
Following Iranian authorities’ deadly response to anti-government protests that peaked last month, the U.S. president has threatened military action and ordered the dispatch of an aircraft carrier group to the Middle East.
Trump has maintained he is hopeful that Washington will “work something out” with Iran but also warned Monday that “bad things would happen” if no deal is reached.
