Description:

President Donald Trump said on ​Monday the United States would either reach a deal ‌with Iran or "finish the job," renewing his threat of military action as Tehran projects defiance following the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Indirect U.S.-Iran talks ​ended last week without any public sign of headway toward ​a lasting peace, despite a 60-day ceasefire intended to ⁠create space for diplomacy following the U.S. and Israeli strikes that ​triggered the conflict.

"We're either going to make a deal or we're ​going to finish the job. OK. And it won't be tough to finish the job. I'd rather make a deal, because I don't want to affect 91 ​million people," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

"We can ​knock down their bridges in one hour, we can knock out their energy supply.... ‌They ⁠don't have any money now. We haven't given them any money."
