Trump Ramps Up Threats Against Iran in Speech in Youngstown, Ohio

HeadlineJul 26, 2017

President Trump intensified his threats against Iran during a speech in Youngstown, Ohio, Tuesday.

President Donald Trump: “The Iran deal, which may be the single worst deal I’ve ever seen drawn by anybody, if that deal doesn’t conform to what it’s supposed to conform to, there’s going to be big, big problems for them. That, I can tell you. You’re going to see that.”

These threats come despite the fact that the Trump administration begrudgingly certified that Iran has complied with its obligations under the Obama-brokered nuclear agreement last week. The State Department has also announced new sanctions against Iran over alleged support for terrorism and Iran’s ballistic missile program. During Trump’s same speech Tuesday in Youngstown, Ohio, he also repeated his frequent attacks on the news media and claimed he can be more presidential than any other U.S. president, except Abraham Lincoln.

President Donald Trump: “And I said, with the exception of the late, great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that’s ever held this office. That, I can tell you.”
