The President of the United States gave a new ultimatum to the extremist Islamic regime
In a telephone interview with Fox News, Trump raised his tone again, warning: “If they don't make a deal, and quickly, I'm considering blowing everything up and taking control of oil.” Even so, the president maintained that he still believes it is possible to reach an understanding in the
In parallel, Iran has warned that any attack on its energy infrastructure will be met with “devastating” blows against installations in Gulf countries, increasing the risk of regional escalation.
