US threatens Iran: 'Good deal or we'll deal with you another way'
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Iran on Sunday that America would either have a good agreement or deal with Tehran 'another way.' The statement comes after days of apparent progress in US-Iran negotiations before President Donald Trump reportedly cooled enthusiasm for an immediate deal.
Rubio told reporters, 'We're going to have to deal with it another way. We would prefer to have a good agreement.' He added that the United States would give diplomacy every chance to succeed while maintaining that America wants a deal with Iran.
The diplomatic tensions follow Trump's recent intervention that appeared to stall momentum toward an agreement. The US position signals continued hardline approach to Iran relations despite occasional diplomatic openings.
How might this renewed tension affect global oil prices and Nigeria's economy, given Iran's significant influence on petroleum markets?
