US President Donald Trump says the United States would begin bombing if Iran fails to reach a deal, while also claiming the situation is “going very smoothly.” The reporting highlights that Trump presents the prospect of military action as conditional on whether negotiations produce an agreement. In parallel, sources reference concerns about economic fallout, including a global economic shock and a rise in petrol prices. The Evening Standard links Trump’s comments to UK-related impacts, including warnings about job risks, and frames the president’s remarks against a backdrop of economic uncertainty. Another outlet with the same headline provides no additional details beyond repeating the claim about bombing if Iran does not reach a deal. Across the coverage, the emphasis remains on Trump’s public messaging about the terms under which force could be used and his assessment of the conflict’s progress, while noting reported economic pressures that accompany the diplomatic and security standoff.
