Hours after Israeli airstrikes killed several top Iranian military officials, US President Donald Trump on Friday warned Iran to reach a deal before it is too late. He claimed that the US produces the most advanced and lethal military equipment in the world, and Israel has a lot of this equipment.
US President Donald Trump posts, “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,” but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done. 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. Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All,”

Trump’s statement comes against the backdrop of rising hostilities between Israel and Iran. Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on X that Israeli airstrikes, involving over 200 fighter jets, had killed Iran’s Chief of Armed Forces, the IRGC Commander, and the head of the country’s Emergency Command in coordinated attacks across Iran.
“We can now confirm that the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Commander of the IRGC and the Commander of Iran’s Emergency Command were all eliminated in the Israeli strikes across Iran by more than 200 fighter jets. These are three ruthless mass murderers with international blood on their hands. The world is a better place without them,” the IDF stated.
The statement comes at a time when Israel has launched a “precise and pre-emptive strike” against Iran, as an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday announced a major military operation called ‘Operation Rising Lion’ aimed at eliminating the serious threat posed by Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Netanyahu said that in this first decisive attack, Israeli forces successfully targeted several important Iranian targets.
