US President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned Iran in a sharp message on Truth Social, and an AI generated picture urging Tehran to “get smart soon.”
“Iran can’t get their act together. They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!,” Trump posted on the social media platform Truth Social shortly after 4 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
He said Iran was failing to reach a non-nuclear deal and lacked clarity in negotiations. The post appeared early morning US time and carried an aggressive tone.
It also included an AI-generated image showing Trump holding a weapon, with explosions in the background and the slogan “No More Mr. Nice Guy.”
The remarks came at a tense moment. The Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, raising fears in global oil markets. Talks between Washington and Tehran have also stalled in recent days.
Sources say a proposal, quietly conveyed through Pakistan, aimed to revive dialogue. However, reports suggest Washington is unlikely to accept it, as key disputes remain unresolved. These tensions earlier led to US and Israeli military action in late February.
Marco Rubio has already signalled a tough stance. He said any agreement must strictly prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Trump also claimed the US holds the upper hand, saying Iran could reach out if it wanted talks. Earlier efforts led by JD Vance ended without success.
Meanwhile, Tehran has offered to reopen the vital shipping route if the US lifts sanctions on its ports and ends the conflict, according to the White House.
