On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump issued a threat to Iran in a post on the Truth Social platform.
Trump appeared in an AI-generated image holding a rifle, with the caption: “Goodbye, Nice Guy.”
In the post, Trump wrote: “Iran is incapable of controlling its behavior. They don’t know how to sign a non-nuclear agreement. They need to get smarter soon.”
The image posted by Trump shows what appears to be an AR-15 or M4 assault rifle (from the American assault rifle family), a semi-automatic rifle commonly used in military or security contexts, as well as in civilian settings in some countries.
This comes amid the continued US blockade of Iran and the uncertainty surrounding the course of negotiations.
Earlier on Wednesday, US sources reported that US President Donald Trump and his top aides discussed the implications of the war with energy company officials at the White House.
According to sources cited by Axios, Trump held meetings with oil industry executives as the stalemate over Iran continued.
The sources added that Trump regularly discussed the state of local and international markets with energy sector executives.
