“President Trump on Sunday issued new threats against Iran and its negotiators as US and Iranian officials were in Geneva, Switzerland, for the first round of talks under the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding. Speaking to Fox News reporter Trey Yingst, President Trump claimed that he spoke with Iranian officials overnight and told them: ‘You close [the Strait of Hormuz] and you won’t have a country.’ … Yingst said Trump also told the officials that if the strait is closed, ‘you won’t even make it back to your f–cking country,’ which appears to be a threat against the lives of Iran’s officials in Geneva, who include Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. … Trump’s threats violate the MoU, which states that the two sides must ‘refrain from the threat or use of force against each other,’ and Iran’s PressTV reported that Iran’s delegation in Geneva raised objections with the US side over his comments.” (06/21/26)
