Donald Trump sent a message to Iran following Israel’s successful strikes on the Islamic Republic’s military chiefs and main nuclear facility: I tried to warn you, but you didn’t listen.
In a Friday morning Truth Social post, Trump said he “gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal” and “told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it.'” Iran “just couldn’t get it done,” Trump continued—but not for lack of warning on what would happen if a deal was not reached.
“I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it,” Trump wrote.
“Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen,” the president added. “They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!”
Shortly after issuing the post, Trump spoke to CNN’s Dana Bash. He called the strikes “a very successful attack.”
“We of course support Israel, obviously, and supported it like nobody has ever supported it,” Trump said. “Iran should have listened to me when I said—you know, I gave them—I don’t know if you know, but I gave them a 60-day warning, and today is day 61.”
Trump went on to say that Iran “should now come to the table to make a deal before it’s too late” but may have trouble doing so.
“You know the people I was dealing with are dead, the hardliners,” he said. When Bash asked whether they died in the Israeli attack, Trump responded, “They didn’t die of the flu, they didn’t die of COVID.”
