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.

    Trying to say that the US doesn’t need or care about the strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, then following it up with today’s post was a choice.

    Guy has exactly one tactic: start from a relative position of power and bully the little guy. It’s not working like he assumed and he’s floundering.

      Yeah, trying to play it cool like it doesn’t matter to the USA was an extraordinarily transparent lie. Iran knows it, everyone knows it. His bullying tactics falling is what resulted in the tantrum now. Why would Iran give up one of their most effective strategies, just because the unreliable lying word-breaking thin-skinned narcissist got cross?

      There’s a reason other presidents didn’t do it this way, Your Lowness, and it’s called Vietnam. You know, the one you draft dodged?
