US President Donald Trump says Iran must make a deal now over its nuclear program or face even more destructive and deadly military action.
“There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end,” Trump says on his Truth Social platform. “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.”
He says Iranians refused to agree to a deal, despite his many warnings of military actions that “would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told.”
“I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done,” he writes.
The president does not indicate whether the US will join the military action, but says he will continue to arm Israel with weapons to use against Iran.
“Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it,” he writes.
BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP ON IRAN:
I gave Iran many chances to make a deal. I warned them strongly to “just do it,” but they failed. I said it would be worse than anything they expected.
The U.S. makes the best, most lethal weapons—Israel has many, and more are coming.
