“The president hasn’t shown a lot of inclination to put himself on a very risky course with respect to Iran,” said former U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter. But “I do worry about us getting into a tangle because we’re so wound up.”

“Today’s situation is not suitable for talks, and our choice is resistance only,” said Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, according to the state news agency IRNA.
The U.S. president did not elaborate on the threat, saying, “You can figure it out yourself. They know what I mean by it.”
The president was referring to John Kerry conducting shadow diplomacy to salvage the nuclear deal, which the United States withdrew from last year and reimposed sanctions that were lifted under it, in addition to enacting new penalties against Tehran.
