Trump raises pressure on Iran to make deal 'before it is too late'

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday stepped up pressure on Iran to make a deal with the United States to end the Middle East war "before it is too late," a day after he warned that the U.S. will hit the Islamic Republic "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. Trump made the remarks in a social media post, where he posted a video of a bridge in Iran collapsing in a strike. "The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again -- Much more to follow!" Trump said in the Truth Social post. "It is time for Iran to make a deal before it is too late, and there is nothing left of what still could become a great country!" he wrote in capital letters. Trump has been seeking an exit from the conflict with Iran amid growing concerns over the war's impact on oil prices and inflation, particularly ahead of the U.S. midterm elections slated for November.
