Donald Trump says Iran’s military ‘gone,’ declares it is ‘too late’ for talks

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (March 3) Iran’s military leadership and key defense capabilities had been wiped out, declaring it was “too late” for talks.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Their air defense, Air Force, Navy, and Leadership is gone. They want to talk. I said ‘Too Late!’”

The remarks signal a hardening stance amid escalating tensions in the region. Trump’s statement suggests that overtures for negotiations were made following the strikes, but he dismissed the possibility of immediate dialogue.
