U.S. President Donald Trump expressed disappointment on Friday about U.S. negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program and warned that "sometimes you have to use force," amid a massive military presence in the region that could presage strikes on the Islamic Republic, APA reports citing Reuters.
Trump has increased diplomatic and military pressure on Iran in the weeks since an Iranian crackdown on protesters, attempting to force the country's rulers to forswear nuclear weapons and other activities Washington sees as destabilizing.
After the latest round of talks on Thursday in Geneva ended with no deal, Trump's patience appeared to be wearing thin, although he said he had not made a final decision on use of force.
"They cannot have nuclear weapons. And we're not thrilled with the way they're negotiating. We'll see how it all works out," Trump told reporters as he left the White House on a trip to Texas.
Asked about the potential for use of force, Trump said the United States has the greatest military in the world.
"I'd love not to use it but sometimes you have to," he said.
