India, March 26 -- US President Donald Trump claimed that Iranian negotiators were "begging" for a deal despite what he said was the country being "militarily obliterated," dismissing Tehran's public position that it is merely reviewing Washington's proposal.

The Iranian negotiators are very different and "strange." They are "begging" us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only "looking at our proposal." WRONG!!!" he said in a Truth Social post on Thursday.

"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," Trump added.
