Trump says Iran must make 'meaningful deal' or 'bad things happen'

President Donald Trump on Thursday urged Iran to strike a "meaningful" deal as a huge American military build-up takes shape in the Middle East amid U.S. threats of action against its adversary.

"It's proven to be over the years not easy to make a meaningful deal with Iran. We have to make a meaningful deal otherwise bad things happen," Trump told the inaugural meeting of the "Board of Peace," his initiative to secure stability in Gaza.

He warned that Washington "may have to take it a step further" without any agreement, adding: "You're going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days."
