Trump claims Iran begging US to make a deal, warns it to ‘get serious soon’
Kartavya Desk Staff
Hours after the reported killing of Iranian navy commander Alireza Tangsiri in an airstrike in Bandar Abbas, US President Donald Trump warned Tehran to “better get serious soon, before its too late” on the truce.
In a post on X, the Republican leader wrote, “The Iranian negotiators are very different and “strange”. They are “begging” us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only “looking at our proposal. WRONG!!! They better get serious soon, before its too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty!”
This comes after Iran rejected the US’ 15-point peace proposal to end the war in West Asia and instead issued its own five-point ceasefire proposal, calling for war reparations and sovereignty over Strait of Hormuz, Tehran’s state media said.
A senior political security official was quoted as saying by Iran’s Press TV that Tehran is insisting the end of conflict will only occur on Tehran’s own terms and timeline. “Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” the official said.
