“JUST DO IT”: Trump: ‘Iran’s Leaders Are Dead — Make A Deal Before It’s Too Late’
President Donald Trump issued a strong reaction Friday following Israel’s strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, saying the Iranian regime had failed to finalize a deal despite repeated opportunities.
Posting on his Truth Social account, Trump wrote, “I gave 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. 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.”
Referring to the impact of Israel’s military operation, Trump added, “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! 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.”
He urged Tehran to act quickly, warning of the consequences if they delay further: “Iran 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!”
In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Thursday evening, Trump said he had been informed ahead of time about Israel’s strike, adding that while he had advance knowledge, the United States did not participate in the attack.
The President went on to say he still hoped negotiations with Iran could resume. “Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb and we are hoping to get back to the negotiating table. We will see. There are several people in leadership that will not be coming back,” he said.
When asked how the U.S. would respond to a potential Iranian retaliation, Trump stated clearly, “We will defend Israel if necessary.”
On Truth Social, Trump doubled down on his call for diplomacy, reiterating his administration’s stance on resolving the nuclear issue through talks.
“We remain committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue! My entire Administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a Great Country, but they first must completely give up hopes of obtaining a Nuclear Weapon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” his post declared.
