US President Donald Trump says Iran has “taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them. Now they will have to pay the price!”

The Truth Social post suggests that the US may attack Iran again, after carrying out strikes overnight in retaliation for the downing of an American military helicopter.

Iran responded with strikes on several US military bases in the region.

Trump, nonetheless, insists in his post that Iran is in a very weak position. “Iran’s military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their navy and air force, doesn’t even exist anymore. They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The bully of the Middle East is DEAD!”
