Trump's message to Iran - negotiate or expect more strikespublished at 03:23 British Summer Time03:23 BSTBernd Debusmann JrReporting from Washington DC Trump's message to the Iranian regime was short, simple and direct: come to the negotiating table, or more strikes will come. "If they do not, future attacks will be far greater," he said. "And a lot easier." In the lead-up to the attacks, Trump had repeatedly - at least publicly - left room for negotiations to continue. Now, he continues to leave the path open, but with the threat of further American strikes looming over Iran's leadership. "There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days," he said. Notably, Trump did not explicitly mention the possibility of regime change in Tehran. Instead, he made it clear the US considers the operation largely over. But if - and only if - Iran comes to the table. The US has moved considerable military assets to the region, which suggests, as Trump noted, that the US is ready to move extremely quickly if the president so chooses.Image source, Reuters
