President Donald Trump has escalated his rhetoric toward Iran, warning the nation to "get smart" as talks over its nuclear program stall. In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump declared, "No more Mr Nice Guy," signaling a shift from his earlier offers of negotiation.
The president criticized Iran's latest proposal, suggesting it was insufficient, though he did not provide specific details. The sharp remarks come amid growing uncertainty over the fragile ceasefire in the region, which has been under strain in recent weeks.
Trump's message marks a departure from his previous statements, where he had expressed openness to direct talks with Iranian leadership. The new confrontational tone raises questions about the future of diplomacy between the two nations.
Iran has not yet officially responded to Trump's latest comments. The development is closely watched by international observers, as any breakdown in talks could lead to increased tensions in the Middle East.
