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.
The “big red button” is a metaphor.
bad one, since it can give you really incorrect impression, like “trump can one day wake up and press the big red button”. which he can’t do, because there is no such button. good metaphors try to help understand the thing they describe, this one does exactly the opposite.
