Speaking on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, Trump said he no longer wishes to pursue diplomatic engagement with Tehran, signaling a sharp shift away from negotiations.

"It's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum," Trump said, adding, "They're sick people. They're led by sick people, and they're vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's all over."

Trump's remarks came after renewed U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets, following escalating hostilities and the collapse of indirect diplomatic efforts. The comments cast further doubt on any immediate prospects for reviving negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
