Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran to negotiate a deal before 'there is nothing left.'

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, issued a forceful message to Iran on Friday, urging them to accept a nuclear deal "before there is nothing left", following a series of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and military leaders.

In his first public statements after the attacks, Trump warned on his Truth Social network that the next bombings could be "even more brutal" and held Iran responsible for provoking the Israeli offensive.

Trump stated that he gave Iran multiple opportunities to reach a diplomatic agreement, but that the country "failed at great cost." In a particularly aggressive tone, he claimed that the Iranian leaders "are all dead now" and warned that the situation will only get worse if an agreement is not reached.

"There is still time for this massacre to end," he added. He also emphasized that both the United States and Israel possess the most lethal military weaponry in the world.

In contrast to Trump's firmer stance, the U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, tried to distance the U.S. government somewhat from the Israeli offensive, clarifying in a statement that the United States "was not involved in the attacks on Iran" and that its priority is to protect U.S. personnel in the region.

The Israeli attacks took place early Friday morning and were aimed at strategic targets in Tehran, in an operation called "Rising Lion". According to reports from Iranian state television, the head of the Revolutionary Guard, General Hossein Salami, and the Chief of Staff, Mohammad Bagheri, were killed in the bombing, as well as two nuclear scientists.

Israel stated that the targets included nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile factories, and military centers, with the goal of reducing the existential threat that Iran poses to the Jewish state.

In response to the attack, Iran launched more than 100 drones at Israel. However, Israeli forces reported that most were intercepted outside its airspace. The Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed a "severe retaliation."

Trump, while acknowledging that he prefers a diplomatic solution to the conflict, said on Thursday that there is a high probability of a massive conflict in the Middle East. Amid rising tensions, the preventive evacuation of U.S. personnel in the region was ordered.

Trump justified this decision by claiming that he did not want to be responsible for failing to issue warnings if missiles began to fall on facilities with U.S. citizens.

Despite the growing tension, Trump stated that a nuclear agreement with Iran is still being negotiated, mentioning that they are "quite close" to achieving it. The sixth round of negotiations is scheduled to take place on Sunday in Oman.

Trump concluded his message with a final call to Iran: "No more deaths, no more destruction. Just do it, before it's too late," suggesting that the country still has the opportunity to avoid total devastation if it agrees to the proposed deal.
