“Iran Took Too Long to Negotiate”: Trump Issues Fresh Warning on Truth Social

President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, claiming that Tehran has “taken too long to negotiate a deal” and will now “have to pay the price,” according to a post on Truth Social.

Trump's remarks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran following recent military confrontations in the Middle East. The US President accused Iran of delaying diplomatic efforts and suggested that the opportunity for a favorable agreement may have passed.

The statement follows a series of escalating incidents involving US and Iranian forces, including retaliatory strikes and attacks on military assets in the region. Trump has increasingly linked the deteriorating situation to what he describes as Iran’s unwillingness to finalize a deal despite months of negotiations.

The latest rhetoric has fueled concerns about further instability in the Middle East, with global markets closely monitoring developments. Oil prices rose after Trump's comments, reflecting fears that any prolonged conflict could disrupt energy supplies through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

While diplomatic channels remain open, the sharp exchange of warnings has raised fresh doubts about the prospects for a negotiated settlement between the United States and Iran.
