Donald Trump has threatened Iran will "pay the price" for failing to agree a peace deal, marking a worrying new turn after he recently claimed an agreement was close.
Trump's ominous warning
The United States President, who had spoken positively about reaching an accord with Iran, struck a menacing tone in a latest post on Truth Social. He declared that Iran's military is "a complete and total mess" and that much of it, including its navy and air force, "doesn't even exist anymore."
"They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action," Trump wrote. "The Bully of the Middle East is DEATH!!! They've taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
