Trump: Make a deal or next attack will be 'far worse'

U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iran on Wednesday to make a deal or the next attack will be "far worse."

On the president's "Truth Social," Trump wrote: "A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela. Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfil its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary."

He added: "Hopefully Iran will quickly 'Come to the Table' and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS - one that is good for all parties. Time is running out, it is truly of the essence!"

Referring to the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities on the night of June 21–22, 2025, Trump said: "As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was 'Operation Midnight Hammer,' a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse! Don’t make that happen again. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
