U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated his rhetoric toward Iran, warning that Tehran must “become smarter soon” amid ongoing tensions.
Trump criticized Iran’s leadership, stating that the country appears unable to unify internally or negotiate a viable non-nuclear agreement, suggesting continued diplomatic deadlock.

In a striking social media post, Trump shared a digitally altered image of himself holding a rifle against a backdrop of explosions, accompanied by the phrase “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” The message was widely interpreted as a signal of a potentially more hardline approach in dealing with Iran.
The post underscores a shift in tone that could point to increased pressure or a more confrontational policy stance in the near future.
