Trump Says Iran ‘Must Make a Deal, Before There Is Nothing Left'
President Trump, in his first public comments on the Israeli strike against Iran, said that Tehran had brought the destruction on itself by failing to accept an offer that he and his envoy Steve Witkoff had put on the table about two weeks ago in nuclear talks. The proposal would have eventually forced Iran to give up all uranium enrichment. 'I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal,' he wrote on Truth Social, his social media platform, on Friday morning. 'I told them, in the strongest of words, to 'just do it,' but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done.' The negotiations had lasted only two months, and in recent weeks Mr. Trump had told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to hold off on any attack in order to let diplomacy play out. On Thursday afternoon, as Israel's final attack preparations were underway, Mr. Trump told reporters, 'I don't want them going in' because 'I think it would blow it' with the talks. (He immediately added that it 'might help actually, but it could also blow it.') In his post, Mr. Trump suggested that some Iranian leaders who were opposed to a deal had been targeted in the Israeli attack, which killed several top Iranian military officials and at least two prominent nuclear scientists. 'Certain Iranian hardliner's spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!' Mr. Trump wrote. During his first term, Mr. Trump pulled the United States out of a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran that was signed by President Barack Obama, deriding the agreement as 'one-sided' and a 'disaster.' It had allowed Iran to keep producing fuel at low levels, suitable for nuclear power plants but not for weapons — a position his own administration considered as recently as two months ago. American and Iranian negotiators had been planning to meet on Sunday in Oman for a sixth round of talks. Those negotiations are now in limbo, with the Iranian government announcing on state television after the strikes on Friday morning that it would not participate in discussions with the United States on Sunday and until further notice. Mr. Trump's social media post attempted to put pressure on Iran to continue negotiating. 'The next already planned attacks,' he wrote would be 'even more brutal.' He added: 'Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.' In his often-used capital letters, he concluded, 'JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.'

Analysis: A weakened Iran has few options for striking back after Israel's blows
In the face of Israel's far-reaching strikes Friday, it's not clear that Iran – its longtime foe – has the capacity to muster the furious response that might be expected. Israel has once again demonstrated it is the pre-eminent military and intelligence power in the Middle East, heedless to civilian casualties and the diplomatic impact of its actions on its allies. As with their remarkable operation to decapitate their northern opponent – the Iranian proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah – the overnight operation has the hallmarks of months or even years of preparation. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have been faced with using this capability now, or losing it, as diplomacy kicked in during a sixth round of nuclear talks scheduled for this weekend between the United States and Iran in Oman. Iran is now left counting its far-reaching wounds. Images from across Tehran show apartment blocks hit, it seems, in specific rooms – suggesting the pinpoint targeting of individuals, likely through tracking cellphones. Iran has lost its top three active-duty commanders, as well as a leading voice in nuclear talks, overnight, but as the dust clears it may emerge more have been hit, and the survivors will likely be concerned they, too, could still be targeted. This will slow and complicate any Iranian response. As will the damage the Iranians continue to sustain. A raid by Israel in October took out a large tranche of Iran's air defenses. Israel's military said Friday that it had destroyed dozens of radars and surface-to-air missile launchers in strikes by fighter jets on aerial defense arrays in western Iran. The Iranian atomic energy agency confirmed that the nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz had also been damaged, but it's not yet clear to what extent. In the days ahead, Israel's superior intelligence apparatus will search for targets of opportunity - commanders and equipment changing location, or the movement of materiel to facilitate a response – and continue to strike. Such a wide-ranging assault was possible only because Hezbollah – Iran's second-strike capability if their nuclear apparatus was hit - had been dismantled over a ruthless but effective months-long campaign last summer. This is beginning to look like a months-long Israeli plan to remove a regional threat. The risks remain high. Iran could now try to race for the nuclear bomb. But its faltering defenses and clear, humiliating infiltration by Israel's intelligence, make that a long shot. Rushing to build a nuclear weapon is no simple task, especially under fire, with your key leadership at risk of pinpoint strikes. Netanyahu may have calculated that the risk of an Iranian nuclear breakout was depleted, and manageable with yet more military might. There is another victim of the overnight barrage: the Trump administration's standing as a geopolitical power. There may be suggestions from Trump advocates in the hours ahead that the Israeli assault was part of a wider masterplan to weaken Iran ahead of more diplomacy. But, in reality, a simpler truth is revealed: Israel had no trust in the United States to implement a deal with Iran that would remove its nuclear ambitions. Despite public pleading by US President Donald Trump for it to hold off, Israel went ahead with the most significant attack on Iran since its war with Iraq in the 1980s. Israel neither cared for or feared Trump's response, and is apparently prepared to risk fighting on without US support. That is perhaps another indictment of Iran's ability to respond now. Israel is less bothered by what it can do. Israel's operation against Hezbollah provides reason for it to be confident (but also should stir anxieties about hubris and overreach). Israel has likely hit the vast majority of its key targets already, to maximize the advantage of surprise, and the extent of that damage will take days to be revealed. What of proliferation now? There is a lot that we do not know about Iran's nuclear program. Israel may have known a lot more. But we are now in a binary moment where the strikes on the Natanz facility may either herald its end, or its race to completion – in the form of a nuclear weapon. Iran has always insisted its nuclear program is peaceful, but the United Nations' nuclear watchdog on Thursday declared it in breach of its non-proliferation obligations, prompting Tehran to promise escalatory action. In the moment of its greatest weakness, the Islamic Republic will struggle to project the regional swagger it has maintained for decades. It may feel it is unable to grasp diplomacy with the US as its way out, without looking even weaker. It appears unable to hit Israel back proportionately, so may look to strike asymmetrically, if possible. In the immediate confusion, one basic fact is clear: Israel is acting in the Middle East now unimpeded by allies, unafraid of wider risks, and - at times brutally - seeking to alter regional dynamics for decades to come.

Trump Urges Iran to Make a Nuclear Deal to Avoid More Attacks
(Bloomberg) — US President Donald Trump urged Iran to accept a nuclear deal to avoid further attacks, hours after Israel bombed the Islamic Republic's atomic facilities and killed some of its top commanders. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban Do World's Fairs Still Matter? NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire 'There is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end,' Trump said on Truth Social. Tehran must make a deal 'before it is too late,' he said. Israel said it struck around 100 targets across Iranian cities on Friday morning, using 200 planes. The attacks, which Israel has said will likely continue over the coming days, caused oil to surge as much as 13%, though it later pared its gains, and investors to buy havens such as gold and US Treasuries. Iran quickly responded by sending a wave of drones toward Israel, though it was unclear if they caused any damage. Some were intercepted over Jordan. Still, Israel expects Iran to retaliate with more drone strikes and also by firing ballistic missiles, according to a military official speaking on condition of anonymity. Explosions were heard across Tehran, Natanz — home to a key atomic site — and other cities, according to local and social media. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel 'struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear-enrichment program.' The head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami, and the military's chief of staff, Mohammad Bagheri, were both killed, according to Iranian media. At least two other senior IRGC members also died. The United Nations' atomic watchdog said there were no indications of increased radiation levels at Iran's main uranium-enrichment site of Natanz, an early sign the strikes haven't penetrated the layers of steel and concrete protecting the Islamic Republic's nuclear stockpile. Still, Netanyahu said the strikes 'will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.' Iranian media said at least 95 people were wounded and that several residential buildings in the capital's suburbs were hit. Iran hasn't yet released an official death toll. Netanyahu said the opening strikes were 'very successful,' adding that Israelis would need to prepare for a retaliation and prepare to spend long periods in shelters. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel will 'pay a very heavy price' and should 'expect a severe response from Iran's armed forces.' While Trump said he knew about Israel's operations in advance, it's unclear if he had much notice. As recently as Thursday he'd suggested he was against strikes, saying his administration remained 'committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue!' 'Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb and we are hoping to get back to the negotiating table,' Trump said to Fox News on Friday. The US was 'not involved' in Israel's strikes, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. Rubio warned Iran against targeting US interests or personnel in retaliation. The US and Iran were meant to meet for their next round of nuclear talks on Sunday in Oman. It's unclear if those negotiations will still happen. Oman's government — in the first comments from a Gulf state — said Israel's actions were reckless and would undermine regional security. Other Arab states echoed those comments, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged 'all parties to step back and reduce tensions urgently' and said 'escalation serves no one in the region.' Regional Crisis The attacks on Iran risk plunging the Middle East — which has been mired in various conflicts since militant group Hamas attacked Israel from Gaza in October 2023 — even deeper into crisis and hitting the global economy. 'Risks are high this will escalate into a broader regional conflict,' say Bloomberg Economics analysts including Jennifer Welch, Adam Farrar and Tom Orlik. The clearest hit to the global economy will come via higher energy prices, they said. Iran said its oil refineries and storage tanks weren't damaged. Still, Brent crude was up by 8.3% to $75 a barrel as of 10:41 a.m. in London. 'Israel's alarming decision to launch airstrikes on Iran is a reckless escalation that risks igniting regional violence,' Senator Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement. He said Trump and other nations need to push for 'diplomatic de-escalation before this crisis spirals further out of control.' Republican politicians refrained from criticizing Israel and largely said the country was provoked by Iran. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said it was a 'preemptive strike,' with the country's officials saying they had evidence Iran was planning an attack. Tehran has repeatedly insisted that its atomic activities are for peaceful, civilian purposes only. But it has significantly expanded uranium enrichment since 2019 — a response to Trump's withdrawal the year before from a 2015 nuclear deal signed under Barack Obama's administration. Efforts by Trump to forge a new deal since he returned to power in January have made stuttering progress. The two sides have struggled to bridge their main dispute. The US — along with Israel — argues that Iran mustn't be allowed to enrich uranium, while Tehran had said it must retain that right. The Islamic Republic says it needs to process uranium, at least to a low level, for civilian purposes such as fueling nuclear power plants. Iran had ratcheted up tensions on Thursday, when officials announced they would inaugurate a new uranium-enrichment facility. That was after the International Atomic Energy Agency — the United Nations' atomic watchdog — said Iran wasn't complying with its international obligations. The IAEA's move set Iran up for a potential renewal of widespread UN sanctions. Shortly before, the US ordered some staff to leave its embassy in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, which neighbors Iran. CBS News reported that was partly down to the US being told Israel was closer to striking Iran. Tensions between Iran and Israel have soared since Hamas, a Palestinian militant group backed by Tehran, attacked the Jewish state on Oct. 7, 2023. The two countries engaged in unprecedented, direct missile and drone attacks on each other in April and October last year. Each time, Israel responded to Iranian strikes — most of which were intercepted — with some of its own. Israel, however, refrained for hitting Iran's nuclear facilities, instead concentrating on military targets such as air-defense systems and missile-making factories. This is the first time Israel has decided to go after Iran's atomic facilities, which it views as an existential threat, with airstikes.
