US President Donald Trump has told Iran to act quickly. He warned that if Tehran does not agree to a nuclear deal soon, Israel will launch even more severe attacks. At the same time, he left open the door for future negotiations.
Trump Gives Iran a Final Warning
On Friday, Trump posted a strong message on Truth Social. He said there had already been “great death and destruction,” but insisted “there is still time to make this slaughter… come to an end.”
Furthermore, he added that “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left… JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.” His warning clearly showed urgency.
Despite the Threat, He Mentions Peace
Although Trump spoke harshly, he also pointed to diplomacy. As he reminded, he had “no wars” during his first term. Now, as he seeks a second term, he appears eager to avoid a new conflict.
Iran Fires Back at Israel
Meanwhile, Iran responded with more missile attacks. These strikes injured several people in Tel Aviv. Additionally, loud explosions were heard in Tehran. Earlier that morning, 78 people had died in Israeli attacks. Clearly, the violence is intensifying.
Trump Stays in Contact with Israel
Later that night, Trump spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Earlier, he had revealed that he knew about Israel’s preemptive strikes in advance.
Moreover, Trump joined a National Security Council meeting in the White House Situation Room. An aide shared a photo of Trump walking through the West Wing, looking stern and focused.
Trump Sends Mixed Messages on Iran
Trump claimed he had given Iran many chances to make a deal. Still, in several interviews, he shifted between praising Israel and suggesting peace talks.
For example, in one conversation with ABC News, he said he thought Israel’s offensive had been “excellent” and warned “there’s more to come. A lot more.”
However, during another interview with NBC, he showed interest in restarting talks. He said, “They missed the opportunity to make a deal. Now, they may have another opportunity. We’ll see.”
Overall, Trump is backing Israel’s strikes while keeping the idea of talks alive. As the conflict grows, the world watches to see which path he will choose next.
