Trump reiterates his threat to attack Iran after Khamenei warns that the conflict will spread throughout the region

U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his threat of an attack on Iran if the country's authorities do not agree to an agreement on nuclear matters.

"Why don't I say that?" he replied to the press gathered at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, referring to statements by Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.



The White House president has warned Iran that "we have the largest and most powerful shipsin the world in the  region, a couple of days from the Central Asian country. "

Noting that he hopes to reach a treaty with Tehran, he has clearly reiterated his threat: "If we do not reach an agreement, then we will know whether or not Khamenei was right. "

Ayatollah Khamenei said to Trump, "If they start a war, this timethe Americans must know it's a regional war . "
