Trump Says Iran Might Get Sanctions Relief If It Can Be Peaceful

President Donald Trump suggested he might back eventual sanctions relief for Iran “if they can be peaceful,” combining threats and the prospect of diplomacy after US strikes aimed at destroying Iranian nuclear sites.

“We have the sanctions on,” Trump said in comments on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “And if they do a job, and if they can be peaceful, and if they can show us they’re not going to do any more harm, I would take the sanctions off.”
