The president of the USA, Donald Trump, went to his social media platform, Truth Social, on Friday to say that “Iran must reach an agreement before nothing is left.”
Its publication said:
I would give Iran opportunity after the opportunity to reach an agreement. I told them, in the most blunt terms, that “they simply did”, but it didn’t matter how hard they tried, it didn’t matter how close they were, they just couldn’t achieve it. I told them that it would be much worse than anything they knew, anticipate or told them, that the United States manufactures the best and most lethal military team anywhere in the world, with much difference, and that Israel has a lot of that, with much more to come – and know how to use it. Certain Iranian hard spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. Everyone is dead now, and it will only get worse! There has already been a great death and destruction, but there is still time to end this massacre, with the next attacks already planned being even more brutal. Iran must reach an agreement, before nothing is left, and save what was once known as the Persian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, simply do it, before it’s too late. God bless you all!
