50% : In addition to issuing verbal threats against Iran, Trump has ordered a major military build-up in the region, including dispatching a squadron of B-52 bombers to the US base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirmed on Sunday that "the conditions for resuming talks between Tehran and Washington regarding Iran's nuclear program are based on the principle of trust between the two countries," he said.
41% : "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing," Trump said in a telephone interview.
14% : While Trump may have preferred that Iran capitulated to his threats to bomb them if it refused to come to Trump's unweildly negotiations table, the Iranian government has decided instead to push back firmly against Trump's crazed demands, with Tehran now warning neighboring Gulf countries that host US military bases that they could be in the line of fire if Trump decides to go for broke... A senior Iranian official said that Tehran has warned six countries they will face "severe consequences" if they support Washington in a military attack against the Islamic Republic, Reuters reported on 6 April.
