Trump: 'Iran has taken too long to negotiate a deal, now it will pay a price'
US president Donald Trump said Iran has “taken too long to negotiate a deal” and that it will “have to pay the price” as a result.
He did not clarify what action he intended to take, but the US military has been striking Iranian targets, including air defences and radar sites, near the Gulf. It is also not clear what this means for the ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the war, with Trump previously insisting that a deal could be reached.
