Trump says Iran will ‘either sign a very fair deal’ or cease to exist

US president Trump threatened on Thursday that Iran will cease to exist if its leaders do not sign a peace deal with the U.S.

“Now I have to make a decision. They’ll either sign a very fair deal or they won’t exist any longer,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn en route to Oklahoma.

The president also told reporters that Iran could have been connected to a co-pilot’s alleged attempt to crash an Israel bound airplane traveling from Dubai earlier this week.

“I would say the answer based on what I’m hearing is yes, but we’re working on it right now,” the president said.
