That was not good, was it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the post, Trump said he was offering Iran a &#8220;fair and reasonable&#8221; deal, but threatened that if no deal was reached, the country would pay a heavy price.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are offering a very fair and reasonable deal, and I hope they will accept it, because if they don&#8217;t, the United States will destroy every single power plant and every single bridge in Iran. No more, Mr. Good Man!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Iran has not yet responded publicly to Trump&#8217;s claims.
