(The Post News)- U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark and provocative warning to Iran, urging its leaders to agree to a nuclear deal immediately or face even more devastating consequences. In a post published early Friday morning on his Truth Social platform, President Trump claimed that Iranian officials who opposed past negotiations are now “dead” and cautioned that future Israeli-led military actions would be “even more brutal.”
His comments come amid a sharp increase in regional tensions and intensified efforts to revive nuclear negotiations between Iran and world powers. Talks have stalled in recent weeks over Tehran’s insistence on maintaining its uranium enrichment program a key sticking point that Western negotiators have called unacceptable.
In his social media post, President Trump claimed he had repeatedly urged Iran to accept terms but was met with resistance from hardline elements within the regime. “Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now,” he wrote.
While the White House has not provided additional comment beyond Trump’s post, foreign policy analysts warn that such rhetoric particularly involving violent language and veiled endorsements of military action could further complicate diplomatic efforts and fuel regional instability.
“This kind of messaging is highly inflammatory and undermines ongoing negotiations,” said Dr. Leila Saeedi, a Middle East policy analyst based in London. “It not only raises tensions but may also be interpreted by Iran as a green light for escalated violence military operations, particularly from Israeli forces.”
The Iranian government has yet to issue an official response, though state media have labeled President Trump’s remarks as “belligerent and dangerous.” Meanwhile, Israeli officials have declined to comment on the suggestion that further attacks are already “planned.”
As the possibility of renewed nuclear talks hangs in the balance, President Trump’s ultimatum adds significant pressure and risk to an already volatile situation.
