Trump warns Iran to agree to nuclear deal before “even more brutal” attacks

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left,” suggesting that subsequent Israeli attacks on the country will be “even more brutal.”

In a post on Truth Social early on Friday morning, Trump wrote that Iranian leaders “didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!”

“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 wrote. “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.”

Negotiations over a new nuclear deal with Iran intensified in recent weeks, but Tehran’s insistence on its right to enrich uranium had proven a major sticking point.
