Trump warns Iran that US attacks will escalate if no deal is reached: 'World's biggest reset' underway
US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that unless a peace deal is reached, the United States will resume military action with even greater intensity, saying the world's biggest “reset” is “under way”.
“The Iranians don't seem to realize they have no asset other than short-term blackmail of the international community by using international waterways. The only reason they are alive today is to negotiate!” Donald Trump ominously wrote in a post on his Truth Social network on Friday, as his vice president, JD Vance, left for Pakistan for the first talks with the Iranians since the start of the war. the war.
“The Iranians are better at managing the fake news media and at public relations than they are at fighting!”, says Donald Trump in another post.
“World's Greatest Reset”
He began his series of posts on Friday with an elliptical formulation, written in capital letters: “THE MOST POWERFUL RESET IN THE WORLD!!!”, reports CNN and News.ro.
He later repeated the wording in an interview with the New York Post, making it clear that he was referring to Iran.
“We're loading the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made — even better than the ones we've used before and blown them to dust,” Trump told the New York Post in a phone interview Friday, going on to say the U.S. would “use them very effectively” if no deal is reached.
As Vice President JD Vance heads to Pakistan to lead talks with the Iranians, Trump said the next 24 hours will reveal whether the talks will be successful.
“We'll know in about 24 hours. We'll know soon,” Trump said.
The president also expressed doubt about the messages sent by Iran. “We're dealing with people we don't know if they're telling the truth or not,” he said. “In front of us, they are getting rid of all the nuclear weapons, everything is gone. Then they go to the press and say: 'No, we would like to enrich uranium'. So we will find out,” said Trump, implicitly acknowledging an unpredictability of Tehran that, by the way, he himself practices.
