When asked about the possible risk of a global economic depression in the event of a strike on Iran if it fails to meet its obligations, Trump dismissed such a scenario.
I don't think it will cause a depression
Trump did not rule out military action against Iran
At the same time, the American leader emphasized that he considers the possible emergence of nuclear weapons in Iran a much more serious threat.
Depression is really bad. But nuclear weapons will cause depression much faster
He also reiterated that Washington is ready to take decisive steps if Tehran does not comply with the terms of a possible agreement.
If Iran does not adhere to its agreement or if they do not behave properly, I will do what I have to do
