There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal,

Mr. Trump told Maria Bartiromo in an interview aired Friday on Fox Business

It would great if everybody would get rid of their nuclear weapons,

he told reporters in the Oval Office

I said I hope you're going to negotiate, because it's going to be a lot better for Iran,

Trump said during the interview

I think they want to get that letter. The other alternative is we have to do something, because you can't let another nuclear weapon,

he said

President Trump made clear by renewing his ‘Maximum Pressure’ order just days into his second term, the United States will not tolerate Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon or their support of terror in the Middle East and around the world,
