Key facts
- Trump warns US will resume bombing Iran if no nuclear deal
- Says current deal is not final
- G7 leaders call for talks to cover Iran's missile programme
- Trump backs G7 position on wider Iran negotiations
NDTV reports that US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning that the United States will resume dropping bombs on Iran if a nuclear deal is not finalised, emphasising that no agreement is yet set in stone. The statement injects fresh uncertainty into diplomatic efforts to resolve the long-running standoff over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Trump's comments come as G7 leaders separately backed broader negotiations to include Iran's ballistic missile programme in any prospective deal, a demand Tehran has historically resisted. The Guardian reports Trump aligned himself with that G7 position, signalling that any agreement would need to go beyond the nuclear file alone.
For India, the stakes are considerable. Iran sits at a critical node of India's energy supply chain and regional connectivity ambitions, including the Chabahar port project. A breakdown in talks and renewed US military strikes would destabilise the Gulf, disrupt oil supplies, and likely push crude prices sharply higher — directly affecting Indian fuel costs and the broader economy.
