""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," Trump said in a social mediapost on January 28. "Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! 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!""
"Speaking before Trump's comments, Iran's foreign minister said negotiations with Washington cannot take place in an atmosphere of threats of military action. Abbas Araqhchi was quoted by the ISNA state news agency on January 28 as saying that "conducting diplomacy through military threat cannot be effective or useful." He added that he had "no contact" with US envoy Steve Witkoff in recent days and that "Iran has not sought negotiations.""
US President Donald Trump demanded Iran negotiate a nuclear deal banning nuclear weapons and warned of a far worse attack than last year’s strikes, referencing 'Operation Midnight Hammer.' The United States moved jet fighters, air defenses and an aircraft carrier group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln to Middle East waters, with Trump calling the buildup an "armada," steps experts say have raised tensions and the risk of military action. Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqhchi said diplomacy cannot succeed under military threats, reported no recent contact with the US envoy and asserted Iran has not sought negotiations. Iran has experienced widespread antiestablishment protests and a harsh crackdown that rights groups and eyewitnesses say left thousands dead.
