Escalating Tensions: Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader Exchange Threats Amid Nuclear Standoff

In a dramatic escalation of tensions, former U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his threat to bomb Iran if the nation does not agree to a new nuclear deal. This statement comes amidst a prolonged standoff over Iran's nuclear ambitions, which have been a point of contention since the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement during Trump's first term.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responded firmly, warning that any act of aggression would be met with a "strong reciprocal blow." He emphasized that Iran remains steadfast in its resistance to direct negotiations under what it perceives as the U.S.'s "maximum pressure" strategy.

The situation underscores the fragile state of international diplomacy, with both sides entrenched in their positions. While Trump continues to push for a new deal, Iran has significantly advanced its nuclear program, raising concerns among global powers.

This exchange highlights the ongoing volatility in U.S.-Iran relations, with potential implications for regional and global stability.
