After Trump’s threats, Iran puts missiles on alert - It will cost US dearly

US President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with bombings and secondary tariffs if Tehran does not sign an agreement with Washington on its nuclear program.
"If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing. It will be bombing like they've never seen before," Trump said.
"There is a possibility that if they don't make a deal, I will impose secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago," Trump added.
Last week, Iran refused to hold direct talks with Washington . Trump then said that US and Iranian officials were in talks, but did not elaborate.
Iran's newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian responded to Trump's comments in a statement broadcast on state media. While rejecting direct negotiations with Washington, he acknowledged that indirect talks, mediated through Oman, could continue.
"The supreme leader has also emphasised that indirect negotiations can continue. We do not avoid negotiations. Rather, it is their unfaithfulness that has caused problems for us so far. They must prove that they can establish trust regarding decisions, and I hope this will materialise," Pezeshkian said.
Trump previously set Iran a tough framework for a new nuclear deal and threatened consequences if Tehran rejected his proposal. During his first term as President, Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known as the Iran nuclear deal. The agreement had imposed strict limitations on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. Mr Trump reiterated that his administration remains open to talks but stressed that Iran must demonstrate a commitment to limiting its nuclear program.
Hours after US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with "bombing" over nuclear negotiations, the country has responded by "readying missiles". According to the state-owned Tehran Times, Iran's armed forces have readied missiles that have the operational capability to hit US-linked positions around the world.
"A significant number of these launch-ready missiles are located in underground facilities scattered across the country, designed to withstand airstrikes," the report claimed.
"The Tehran Times has learned that Iran's armed forces have readied missiles with the capability to strike US-related positions, amid ongoing threats of military action from President Donald Trump if Tehran does not agree to a new nuclear agreement on his terms," the report claimed.
