Trump continues his "bigger and stronger shooting than ever before" threats in pursuit of "an Iran deal" [View all]

But he was back to using threats to try to force the issue on Monday, writing in an almost 600-word Truth Social rant that the “shooting” will return if Iran doesn’t play ball on a deal. He mixed this maniacal threat with an assurance that negotiations are going swimmingly.

“Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!” he declared.

The two sides have stalled on certain components of the deal, with Trump unmoved in his insistence that Iran should at least pause its nuclear enrichment program for 20 years. The nations have both tabled conditions for an eventual amnesty, but the speed of the deal has been hampered by the fact that Iran’s Supreme Leader is in hiding with a direct line to him purposely complicated via an ad hoc network of intermediaries.

And despite these already-tricky components, Trump also wants several Middle Eastern nations to sign the Abraham Accords, a set of agreements that normalize relations between Jewish and Arab states.
