U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that Iranian negotiators were “begging” him for a ceasefire, even as they publicly said they were only reviewing Washington’s proposals.

“The Iranian negotiators are very different and ‘strange.’ They are ‘begging’ us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only ‘looking at our proposal,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social network.

“They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is no turning back, and it won’t be pretty!” the president warned.
