US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei should be “very worried,” as Washington builds up its military forces in the region.
“I would say he should be very worried, yeah, he should be,”
Trump said in an interview with US broadcaster NBC News. “As you know, they are
negotiating with us.”
Trump’s comments came as a report by the Axios news outlet
said that US-Iran talks planned for Friday were “collapsing” after US officials
declined to move the location of the talks or shift the format.
The White House did not immediately comment on the Axios
report when asked by AFP.
Trump has sent a US aircraft carrier to the region and has
not ruled out new military action to follow the US attacks on Iranian nuclear
sites during Israel’s June war against the Islamic republic.
Trump also said that Iran had eyed a new nuclear site after
US strikes.
“They were thinking about starting a new site in a different
part of the country,” Trump told NBC. “We found out about it, I said, you do
that, we’re going to do very bad things to you.”
