Trump Warns Brutal Attacks if No Deal with Iran
Trump issues warnings towards Iran, demanding negotiations for an accord
In response to Israel's attack on Iran, US President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum—make a deal or face "even more brutal" attacks. Trump's message, shared on his Truth Social platform, suggests a looming military escalation if Iran fails to agree to a deal.
"Time's a-ticking," Trump declared. "Iran needs a deal - pronto. Before it's too late," he added. However, with Israel already causing significant damage, experts question whether Iran's rulers will opt for diplomacy over force.
Trump emphasized that the US has provided numerous chances for Iran to negotiate, boasting about the country's cutting-edge and lethal military hardware. "Israel's got a truckload of it, all thanks to us, and trust me, there's plenty more on the way," Trump wrote.
Israel carried out a massive strike against Iran, attacking approximately 100 targets, including the capital Tehran and the Natanz nuclear facility. The Israeli military claimed to have hit underground uranium enrichment facilities at Natanz.
While the US has been working with Israel to limit Iran's nuclear program, tensions between the two countries have been on the rise. During Trump's first term, the US backed out from a nuclear deal with Iran, brokered by European nations. Trump also threatened to bomb Iran if they refuse a new deal.
As the standoff escalates, Russia has stepped in as a potential mediator, offering to facilitate US-Iran nuclear negotiations. With diplomatic avenues closing, the future looks bleak as both nations seem to be stuck in a vicious cycle of violence and retribution.
