US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that the next US attack could be far worse if Tehran does not negotiate a nuclear deal. Trump urged Iranian officials to “come to the table” and reach a fair agreement that prevents nuclear weapons development.
In a social media post, Trump emphasized the urgency of the matter, saying, “Time is running out, it is truly of the essence!” He referenced previous military actions, noting that a prior warning was followed by a US strike. Trump also mentioned that a new naval armada is heading toward the region, signaling possible intervention if diplomacy fails.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said he has not had recent contact with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and is not currently requesting negotiations. The lack of communication adds to rising tensions as the possibility of a new attack remains.
Turkey has urged the US to prioritize diplomacy, warning against military action. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told Al-Jazeera that it is wrong to attack Iran and stressed that nuclear negotiations should be handled step by step. He said treating all issues as one package could complicate discussions and potentially humiliate Iranian officials.
US forces have positioned an aircraft carrier and other naval units in the Middle East amid concerns about potential unrest in Iran following the government’s harsh crackdown on protests. Washington has not ruled out military action, but Turkey and other regional powers continue to push for dialogue over confrontation.
Analysts say the situation remains delicate. Trump’s warning highlights the balance between diplomatic negotiations and the threat of military attack. Experts note that any escalation could have serious consequences for regional stability and international security.
