‘Sometimes You Have To’: Donald Trump Issues Fresh Warning To Iran Of Possible Military Action A Week Before Vienna Talks

US President Donald Trump has expressed his great displeasure with Iran again, stating that he is not pleased with the recent developments of Tehran and that the forbearance of Washington is being exhausted. In an interview with the media, Trump claimed that Iran was not living to the expectations of the international community and that its actions are still sabotaging any effort to make the diplomatic process softer in the region. His comments are very timely, as the world leaders are ready to engage in fresh negotiations in Vienna, which are aimed at the nuclear programme of Iran and the issues connected with the security in the region.

Donald Trump Issues Fresh Warning To Iran Of Possible Military Action A Week Before Vienna Nuclear Talks

Trump again reiterated that as long as the United States is open to diplomacy, will not hesitate to take action against such action by Iran, which he termed provocation behaviour. He reiterated that agreements entered into in the past were not tough enough to stop the Iranian ambitions and demanded that any deal that would come out in future must be stricter and more encompassing. This is simply because there are some situations where you must be tough and Trump added that military action was also an option in case the diplomatic means fail. Most people took his remarks to be a warning to put pressure on Tehran before the high stakes talks, but it also gave the US allies in the Middle East the assurance that Washington will be adamant.

Vienna Talks

It remains unknown how Iranian officials will react to the most recent statements of Trump officially, but Tehran already denied the warnings of this sort labeling them as politically oriented and unconducive to talks. According to the analysts, the words that Trump uses portray a common tactic of using diplomacy and hard rhetoric to negotiate an advantage prior to the negotiations. The Vienna talks are nearing completion but it is not clear as to whether the two sides can close the gap or the situation is going to worsen. In the meantime, the fact that Trump stated that he is not happy with Iran reflects the weak situation in US relations and Iran relations and defines the challenging future of diplomacy in one of the most unstable geopolitical conflicts in the world today.
