U.S. President Donald Trump has told Iran to "get serious soon" about a peace deal with Washington, or face the consequences.
"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!," he posted on Truth Social early Thursday.
The president described Iranian negotiators as "very different" and "strange" and said they were "begging" the U.S. to make a deal to end the war that has raged for almost four weeks.
Trump's comments come after contradictory statements from Washington and Tehran regarding the status of peace talks. The U.S. has said talks a proposed peace plan have been taking place, while Iran denies any direct interaction with Washington.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reportedly told state media on Wednesday that officials were reviewing an American proposal to end the war, but said Tehran had no intention of having talks with the U.S.
He added that an exchange of messages between the two countries through mediators "does not mean negotiations with the U.S.," Reuters reported.
