Trump tells 'strange' Iranian negotiators to 'get serious soon' or 'it won't be pretty'

"The Iranian negotiators are very different and 'strange,'" Trump wrote in a Thursday morning Truth Social post. "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.'

"WRONG!!! 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!"

Trump also lashed out at NATO, accusing alliance members of doing "absolutely nothing" to help confront Iran as the conflict entered its fourth week.

"I won't use the word 'war' because they say if you use the word 'war,' that's maybe not a good thing to do," Trump told the crowd of GOP lawmakers at the fundraiser dinner that raised a record-breaking $36.8 million for the NRCC, which seeks to fund the midterms to help keep the narrow House GOP majority (217-214).

"They don't like the word 'war' because you're supposed to get approval. So, I'll use the word 'military operation', which is really what it is. It's a military decimation."
