Trump Warns Iran of More Brutal Israeli Attacks After Strikes

US President Donald Trump claimed prior knowledge of the Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites, which killed top Iranian military officials and scientists, and urged Iran to return to the negotiating table to reach a nuclear deal with the US. He warned Iran that Israel's attacks "will only get worse" if they fail to make a deal, emphasizing that the US and Israel possess highly lethal military capabilities and that the next planned attacks could be even more brutal. Trump stated that he had given Iran multiple chances to negotiate but that Iranian hardliners were unable to finalize an agreement. Despite the US initially distancing itself from the Israeli strikes, Trump stressed that Iran must act before it is "too late" to avoid further carnage, while also affirming US readiness to defend its forces and assist Israel in the region. The strikes, which reportedly involved hundreds of Israeli jets and drones targeting nuclear sites and military leaders, have heightened tensions in the Middle East and prompted concerns about potential escalation. Iran has accused the US of supporting Israel's attacks, a charge the US denies, while diplomatic talks on a nuclear deal were continuing in Oman.
