U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran “can’t get their act together” and warned that the country does not know how to sign a nonnuclear deal, adding that Tehran “better get smart soon,” according to the statement circulating online and reported in recent coverage of the stalled Iran talks.
The remarks come as negotiations over a broader U.S.-Iran understanding remain unsettled. Recent reporting said Iran has already submitted a revised proposal in the talks, while Trump has not shown clear support for the latest Iranian terms. The White House and allied reporting have described the situation as an ongoing deadlock, with mediators still trying to narrow differences.
At the same time, a social media poster featuring Trump with the phrase “no more Mr. Nice Guy” and a gun image has been circulating online. The image has not been independently verified in the source material, but it has added to the attention around Trump’s tougher rhetoric toward Iran.
Trump has repeatedly taken a hard line on Iran in the past. In 2018, he withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal, saying the agreement failed to protect American security interests and reimposed sanctions on Tehran. That earlier position remains a key reference point in current disputes over any new arrangement.
The latest remarks land at a sensitive moment, with diplomatic efforts still under discussion and the issue of a wider nonnuclear deal linked to broader regional tensions. Trump was expected to meet his national security and foreign policy team to discuss the stalled negotiations and next steps.
For now, the message from Trump is sharply confrontational, Iran must move faster, or face continued pressure from Washington.
