Trump Demands Iran ‘Get Serious’ Like Your Deadbeat Ex, Stat
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump urged Iran Thursday to 'get serious soon' in peace talks before his five-day military pause expires Saturday.
- •The U.S. recruited Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey to mediate high-level talks, even as Iran’s top officials reject the U.S. 15-point peace proposal.
- •Despite Iranian skepticism and public rejection, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt insisted negotiations continue productively behind the scenes.
On Thursday, President Trump channeled your least patient Tinder date, telling Iran to 'get serious soon' or face the music — probably a big bombing run around Saturday when his five-day Iran strike moratorium expires. The peace talks are a hotel lobby nightmare hosted by Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, who’ve been asked to arrange a high-level meeting despite Iran calling Trump’s ultra-lengthy 15-point peace plan 'excessive' and a 'ploy.' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insists negotiations are happening in whisper mode through third parties, while Trump rants on Truth Social that Iran’s ’militarily obliterated’ and 'begging for a deal'—except not really, because IRGC commanders are suspicious AF. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt insists talks remain 'productive' amidst all this diplomatic mixtape drama.
