President Donald Trump told ABC News if Iran doesn't make a peace deal in the next 48 hours, "we're blowing up the whole country."

Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”

The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.

Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.

      Trump was not ever going to try to stop it, he supports genocide and war crimes. Remember him telling Israel to “finish the job in Gaza”?

      Republican Donald Trump has called US President Joe Biden “a very bad Palestinian” who doesn’t want to help Israel “finish the job” against Hamas in its war on Gaza.

      “He doesn’t want to do it. He’s become like a Palestinian – but they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian, he’s a weak one,” former president Trump said in the first presidential debate with Biden on Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia.

              Not gloating, responding to your comment about caring more about reality than optics… Seems outrageous to say given the circumstance and outcome. It’s too on the nose unless you’re trolling…

                  I’m going to actually choose to focus my ire towards the people actively committing genocide, releasing the gestapo on their own citizens, putting people into concentration camps, and actively eliminating my voting and civil rights. There is such thing as a lesser evil than what we now have, and I’m not going to blame them for the things the current evil is doing, regardless of how much I hate them both.

                  You’re advocating for more harm because your unrealistic ideals are simply unachievable and there is no such thing as a perfect candidate, especially in America as it currently stands. It’s wishful childish nonsense. Get a fucking grip.

                  “I’m not playing!” Doesn’t mean the game is canceled. It just means you prefer failure over compromise.

                  I’ll ask you again; who was your candidate?
