WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump threatened Iran Thursday with “very traumatic” consequences if Tehran fails to make a deal on its nuclear program, adding that he hoped for a result within the next month.

“We have to make a deal, otherwise it’s going to be very traumatic, very traumatic. I don’t want that to happen, but we have to make a deal,” Trump said when asked about his talks on the issue with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.
