US President Donald Trump has criticized Iran over its handling of nuclear negotiations, saying the country has failed to move toward a deal.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “Iran can’t get their act together. They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!”
The post was accompanied by an AI-generated image of Trump holding a weapon amid explosions, with the caption: “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY.”
Trump plans to extend blockade on Iran: report
Trump’s remarks come amid rising tensions over Tehran’s nuclear programme, which escalated ahead of the recent war. He has repeatedly vowed that Iran must be prevented from developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran, however, has long maintained that its nuclear programme is peaceful in nature, although it has enriched uranium to levels close to weapons-grade.
