US President Trump: Iranian negotiators begging to make a deal

In a post published on Truth Social on Thursday, United States (US) President Donald Trump called Iranian negotiators "very different and strange."

"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”," Trump added and continued:

"WRONG!!! They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty!"
