Donald Trump has warned that “all hell will rain down” on Iran if the regime does try to obtain nuclear weapons, as both sides prepare to sign a framework agreement to end the war this week.
“They’re not going to acquire a nuclear weapon. If they do, all hell will rain down on them,” Trump reassured in comments to reports at the G7 summit in France, as leaders discuss next steps on the conflict.
He said the preliminary deal as it stands “says it loud and clear: they’re not going to develop it … and if they do, they suffer unbelievable consequences”.
The US president went on to criticise Israel’s conduct in Lebanon amid mounting concerns that continued attacks could derail the peace process.
“Israel is fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed. And you don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody. Because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses. And they’re not all Hezbollah, I can tell you.”
Trump added that he has a “great relationship” with Israel’s Netanyahu, but that he “has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon”.
