Story highlights

Donald Trump called Iranian negotiators “strange”, accused them of secretly seeking a deal, warned of consequences, and criticised NATO for offering no support during escalating tensions with Iran.

US President Donald Trump has described Iranian negotiators as “very different and strange”, expressing frustration over what he called mixed signals from Iran amid ongoing tensions. In a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday (March 26), Trump claimed that Iran’s leadership was privately pushing for a deal while publicly downplaying such intentions.

“They are ‘begging’ us to make a deal… and yet they publicly state that they are only ‘looking at our proposal’. WRONG!!!” Trump wrote.
