Iran delegation protests Trump's threat at Switzerland talks, weighs ‘proper’ response: Source
The Iranian delegation to talks with the United States has raised objections directly with the American side over President Donald Trump's latest threat of further military strikes, and is now weighing its next steps, a source told Press TV.
"The Iranian delegation has raised its objections to the American side and is currently assessing the conditions to give a proper response to Trump's verbal threats," the source said on Sunday.
Trump on Sunday threatened to restart war with Iran, warning Tehran to rein in its allies in Lebanon or face renewed and more powerful US military strikes.
"Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don't, we'll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!" Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform, referring to US war against the Islamic Republic, which started late February.

The threat was made as Iranian and American delegations were engaged in critical negotiations, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, at the Bürgenstock resort in central Switzerland, where they are working to implement a 14-point memorandum of understanding.
The talks were the first to be held under the terms of the Islamabad MoU agreed a week ago.
Trump’s threat of further military action against Iran is a direct contravention of US commitments under the interim deal, whose clause 1 commits both parties “not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other.”
A source close to Iran’s negotiating team later told Tasnim news agency that the Iranian delegation left the venue of talks with the United States in protest over Trump’s latest threat.
