Iran leaves negotiations after Trump's assassination threat: 'Blow the s*** out of you'

Iran has abandoned peace negotiations in Switzerland, with the delegation from the Middle Eastern nation refusing to return to peace talks until US President Donald Trump apologises for threatening to assassinate Iran’s team of negotiators on Sunday (June 21).

According to Fox News, Trump said he told Iranian officials: “You close the strait and you won’t have a country. You won’t even make it back to your f****** country … we’ll take over the rest of the country.

“We may take over the Strait, if we have to. I’ll blow the s*** out of them.”

In a Truth Social post, the president wrote: ‘Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!’

Negotiators have taken the comments made by the 47th President of the United States as a direct assassination threat and, as a result, are refusing to reengage in peace talks until Trump apologises for his tirade, the Hormuz Letter reports.

Iran has also stated that Israel must fully withdraw its troops from southern Lebanon in addition to Trump’s apology to see the Gulf nation return to peace talks.

Trump’s verbal attack against Iranian officials come after military officials from the Islamic Republic announced on Saturday (June 20) that Iran would, again, close the Strait of Hormuz due to violations of the tentative peace deal between the two nations.
