Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”

The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.

Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.

      Everyone and his dog will be getting a nuclear weapon if that happens. The future of humanity will be very bleak indeed.

        Israel would rather rule over Hell on Earth before admitting defeat and facing international scrutiny for real this time

        What do you mean? Nukes ensure stability, do you think anyone would attack a nuclear Iran?

        Nukes mean not using them.

          John Kiriakou (ex CIA whistleblower) mentioned in an interview that Israel threatened to use a nuke in the 12 day war last June which prompted Trump to bomb Fordow and Natanz with B2 bombers.

          Zionist fanatic Sheldon Adelson advocated nuking Iran a few years ago. Zionist war criminal Ben Gvir was asked on israeli TV why they haven’t used a neutron bomb on Iran yet and he grinned.

          Theres a real danger that Netanyahu uses a nuke or orders Trump to do it given the Zionists 30 year desire to destroy Iran. Trump is just a puppet.
