President Trump escalates rhetoric on Iran war, jeopardizes Saudi nuclear deal

President Donald Trump confronted ABC News reporter Mary Bruce at a White House press briefing, snapping that she "doesn't know" the signs of Iran's readiness to stop fighting and questioning, “How would you know there are no signs?” He added, “Do you know something that I don’t know?”

Later that day, ABC’s fill‑in anchor Linsey Davis reported that Trump was “signaling a possible major escalation in the war in Iran” and warned that a landmark nuclear agreement recently signed with Saudi Arabia could be in jeopardy. According to correspondent Jonathan Karl, Trump linked the deal’s implementation to Saudi Arabia’s participation in the Abraham Accords, adding a new condition that may stall the agreement.
