Trump warns Iran of ‘very traumatic’ outcome if no deal is reached

Feb 12, 2026, 19:09 GMT+0Updated: 21:44 GMT+0

US President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that Tehran's failure to reach a deal with Washington would have “very traumatic” consequences for Iran.

“With Iran, we have to make a deal, otherwise it's going to be very traumatic, very traumatic,” Trump said in remarks at the White House. “They should have made a deal the first time, and they got Midnight Hammer instead.”

“We had a very good meeting yesterday with Bibi Netanyahu, and he understands, but it's ultimately up to me if the deal is in a very fair deal and a very good deal with Iran, and it's going to be. I think a very difficult time for them,” Trump added.
