The U.S. will launch military attacks on Iran if Tehran does not engage in talks with Washington on limiting its nuclear program, President Donald Trump said on Sunday, after Iran's foreign minister dismissed direct contact between the two countries. Newsweek has reached out to the Iranian Foreign Ministry for comment via email.

Why It Matters

The president told reporters on Friday that "very bad things" will happen to Iran, should Tehran refuse to "talk it out" with Washington, against a backdrop of deepening fears of a possible military confrontation between Iran and the U.S.

What To Know

Trump told NBC on Sunday that if the Iranian regime did not "make a deal" with the White House, "there will be bombing." "It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before," the president said. In separate remarks on Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran had "rejected" direct negotiations between its government and the Trump administration, but stressed that "that the path for indirect negotiations remains open."

U.S. and Iranian officials are "talking," Trump said on Sunday. Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister, told state media on Thursday that Iran had responded to Trump's missive via Oman, but did not elaborate on the contents of the reply. The answer "fully laid out" Iran's stance, Araghchi said.

3. The No-Wars Prezidunt, y'all.

Ben Garrison loved to depict HRC and Joe as dangerous warmongers dragging us into WWIII and dim donnie as the "sane" alternative. I haven't hate-watched his shitty excuses for cartoons in years but still gotta wonder if the cancerous ass-worm has turned, or if he's just portraying this as "big stick" power like a good little hypocrite.

5. Why would they sign a deal with him?

He wouldn't honor it and he would break it at his earliest convenience. There is no benefit to making a deal with him.

6. Will the plans be shared on Signal so Iran can prepare?

Piles if cash to be made on these advance notices…

8. I sank your Battleship!

All fun and games for General Bonespurs until Iran shoots down a couple B2 bombers. Then it stops being game pieces on the game board and turns into a real war with real American and Iranian casualties.
