President Donald Trump is holding a National Security Council meeting on Friday morning in the Situation Room after Israeli strikes on Iran that have put the Middle East on edge.

On Friday morning, the president promised in a Truth Social post that Israel’s next round of attacks on Iran would be “even more brutal,” thereby pressuring Iran to negotiate a deal regarding its nuclear activity.

“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,” Trump said in the post.

Trump said he warned Iran 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!”

The United States and Iran are due to hold another round of nuclear negotiations this weekend in Muscat, Oman, as the two sides remain divided on whether Iran should be able to enrich uranium at all, even for civilian energy purposes.

It is unclear whether the discussions will continue in light of the incident. Trump has encouraged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold discussions before launching any strikes.
