President Trump issued an early morning warning to Iran Thursday, telling Islamic Republic officials to buckle down and “get serious” about negotiating an end to the four-week-old war “before it is too late.”
“The Iranian negotiators are very different and ‘strange,’” the president posted on Truth Social. “They are “begging” us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only ‘looking at our proposal.’ WRONG!!!
“They better get serious soon, before it is too late,” Trump added, “because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty!”
Trump’s rant came as Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed for the first time that indirect talks between the US and Iran were taking place, mediated by the Islamabad government as well as Egypt, Turkey and other countries.
Reports circulated earlier this week that Vice President JD Vance could travel to Pakistan this coming weekend to seal a cease-fire deal, but a source told The Post that while such an intervention was a “possibility,” it was not “even close to happening.”
Trump initially raised hopes for an end to the war that has decimated Iran’s top leadership and rattled the global economy on Monday, when he announced he was postponing planned strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure by five days to allow time to work out an agreement to end the fighting.
While the US and Israel kept up the pace of airstrikes targeting the Iranian regime, Washington submitted a 15-point peace outline to their Teharn counterparts.
