WASHINGTON — Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a stark warning to Iran, intensifying his rhetoric over the country’s nuclear ambitions and suggesting the possibility of renewed military action should Tehran continue to resist negotiations, according to Hurriyet Daily News. In a sharply worded social media post, Trump urged Iran to abandon its refusal to engage in talks and instead pursue what he described as a “fair and equitable deal” that would permanently foreclose the development of nuclear weapons. Emphasizing urgency, he declared that “time is running out,” framing the standoff as one with diminishing diplomatic options. He referenced a prior U.S. military operation, dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer”, which he claimed inflicted significant damage on Iran after earlier negotiations failed. Iran has repeatedly rejected direct talks with Washington, citing distrust rooted in past U.S. withdrawals from nuclear agreements and the reimposition of sanctions.
