President also threatens renewed secondary tariffs in effort to pressure Tehran
By yourNEWS Media Newsroom
President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran on Sunday, declaring that failure to reach a new nuclear agreement with the United States would result in bombings or the reintroduction of economic pressure through secondary tariffs. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump confirmed that discussions were ongoing between American and Iranian officials but emphasized that military action remained on the table.

“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” Trump said. “But there’s a chance that if they don’t make a deal, that I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago.”
During his first term in office, Trump withdrew from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an agreement between Iran and world powers that placed constraints on Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Following that move, the United States reinstated sweeping economic sanctions, and Iran expanded its uranium enrichment activities beyond the deal’s limits.
Iran has thus far refused to comply with the new warnings. The Islamic Republic reportedly sent a formal reply through Oman to a letter from Trump in which the president urged Iranian leaders to consider entering a revised nuclear deal. That response was confirmed by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, according to a report from Iran’s official IRNA news agency on Thursday.
Western powers have repeatedly expressed concern that Iran’s advanced uranium enrichment—at levels far beyond civilian energy requirements—indicates a covert effort to develop nuclear weapons capabilities. Tehran continues to deny those accusations, maintaining that its nuclear efforts are solely aimed at peaceful energy development.
Trump’s comments on Sunday suggest that the administration is prepared to escalate both diplomatic and military pressure in the coming weeks. The president cited his previous success in leveraging economic penalties during his first term and indicated he was considering a similar strategy if current talks fail.
