WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald J. Trump told Iran on Friday that the overnight Israeli strikes it experienced were just the beginning of “even more brutal” lethal force unless the Islamic Republic makes a nuclear deal that would prevent it from developing atomic weapons.
Trump noted on his Truth Social media platform that “Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!”
He said he had given 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 wrote.
Trump added that “I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it.”
After mentioning the Iranian leaders who he says were already killed and that “there has already been great death and destruction,” he said, “there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end.”
Iran, he warned, “must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!”
Trump also said Friday he had given Iran a 60-day ultimatum on a nuclear deal before Israel’s strikes, but added Tehran now has a second chance.
“Two months ago I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
