Former US President Donald Trump sent a stern message against Iran on Friday morning. Through a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, he warned that if Iran does not agree to a nuclear deal soon, the attacks on the country will become “even more brutal.”
Trump Issues Harsh Warning to Iran
Trump’s message was filled with urgency and powerful language. He wrote that Iranian leaders “didn’t know what was about to happen,” and claimed “they are all DEAD now.” He went on to say that the destruction already caused was only the beginning and that future strikes would be even harsher.
This message came after a period of increasing violence in the region. In recent days, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iranian cities, including Tehran and Natanz. Trump’s post seemed to support these actions and called on Iran to quickly return to the negotiating table.

Trump emphasized that there is still time to stop the bloodshed, but warned Iran to act before it’s too late. “There has already been great death and destruction,” he said, “but there is still time to make this slaughter… come to an end.” He urged Iranian leaders to save what was left of their country and its heritage, referring to it as the “Iranian Empire.”
Details from Trump’s Social Media Statement
Trump clarified in his lengthy post that he had previously offered Iran multiple opportunities to reach an agreement. He claimed he had warned them strongly but said that despite trying, Iran failed to reach an agreement. He stated, “I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried… they just couldn’t get it done.”
Trump also spoke about the military power of the United States and Israel. He said that the U.S. makes the “best and most lethal military equipment” and added that Israel has “a lot of it” and “knows how to use it.” His message suggested that Iran’s refusal to compromise could lead to even more dangerous consequences.
He called out Iranian hardliners — people in the Iranian government who strongly oppose the West and refuse to make compromises. Trump said these leaders “spoke bravely” but didn’t know what was coming. “They are all DEAD now,” he wrote. This statement added to the already serious tone of his post.
In a closing statement, Trump wrote, “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.” He also included an emotional plea, saying, “No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!”
Background on the Nuclear Deal Talks
In recent weeks, talks between Iran and world powers over a new nuclear agreement have become more intense. These talks aim to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons in return for easing sanctions on the country. However, there has been a major disagreement. Iran continues to insist on its right to enrich uranium — a key part of making nuclear fuel that could also be used to make bombs.
This disagreement has stalled progress on the deal. While the U.S. and other nations want to limit Iran’s uranium enrichment, Iran argues that it has the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

Trump’s post comes at a time of rising tension in the Middle East. Israeli airstrikes have already caused major damage in Iran. Roads have been shut down, and flights have been cancelled across the country. Videos on social media have shown explosions lighting up the night sky, with buildings shaking and emergency sirens going off.
Though Trump is no longer the president, his words still carry weight. His message suggests support for the military actions and puts pressure on Iranian leaders to act quickly. His post has sparked discussion and debate among political leaders and experts around the world.
The situation remains serious, and Trump’s warning adds to the already tense atmosphere between Iran, Israel, and Western countries.
