Donald Trump issued a new threat against Iran on Truth Social, posting a mocked-up image of himself with an assault rifle and the caption 'No more Mr Nice Guy!' The president wrote: 'Iran can’t get their act together. They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!'
Image and Context
The image also featured a US flag emoji and explosions and smoke in the background. Trump earlier claimed that King Charles III 'agrees' that Iran should never possess nuclear weapons, a statement Buckingham Palace carefully addressed by referencing the UK government's long-standing position on non-proliferation.
Iran's Situation
He also claimed that Iran is in a 'State of Collapse' and wants the Strait of Hormuz opened, following Iran's blockade of the strait which caused global oil price surges. In full, Trump's post underscores heightened tensions between the US and Iran.
