US President Donald Trump has said that Iran will face unprecedented problems if it refuses to negotiate with Washington.
“They’re going to negotiate and if they don’t, they’re going to see problems like they’ve never seen before,” Trump said in an interview with journalist John Fredericks on Monday.
The American leader also expressed hope that Washington and Tehran would reach a deal.
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf previously stated that Iran would not negotiate with the US under threats.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, causing damage and civilian casualties. On April 7, Washington and Tehran announced a two-week ceasefire. Subsequent talks in Islamabad ended inconclusively. While no resumption of hostilities was announced, the US began a blockade of Iranian ports. Mediators are attempting to organize a new round of talks.
