Tensions rise as President Trump tells Iran “it’s too late for negotiations”

Tensions and fears of war in the Middle East region continue to spread, as United States President Donald Trump tells Iran that it is now too late to carry out any negotiations.

According to him, he had rejected what he said was Tehran’s attempt to start new negotiations again.

“Their air defense, Air Force, Navy and leadership are all gone. They want to talk. I said too late!,” wrote the US president on his Truth Social platform.

On Tuesday Israel and the United States stepped up their attacks on Iran, carrying out several waves of attacks targeting Iranian command and control centers, key government buildings and missile launch sites.

Iran launched hundreds of missile and drone attacks against Israel and across the Gulf region, hitting US military installations, embassies and civilian facilities.

Although there is great concern around the world, there is no great hope for this conflict to stop.

Hundreds of people have lost their lives, especially in Iran, where the Red Crescent reported 787 deaths and thousands more injured.

Billions of dollars worth of damage occurred to oil refineries, tankers, airports, luxury hotels, and many other places.

The global economy is now facing a serious crisis because energy prices have risen sharply.

In remarks later at a White House meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump said, “Almost everything has been eliminated.”
