Nato has done 'absolutely nothing' to help US in Iran war, Trump says

In an all caps Truth Social post, U.S. President Donald Trump has railed against Nato allies for doing “absolutely nothing” to help the US in its military campaign against Iran, the Guardian reported.

"NATO NATIONS HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP WITH THE LUNATIC NATION, NOW MILITARILY DECIMATED, OF IRAN. THE U.S.A. NEEDS NOTHING FROM NATO, BUT “NEVER FORGET” THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT IN TIME!" he wrote.

Trump again repeated the claim that Iran is “begging” for a deal to end the war, warning that Tehran “better get serious soon, before it is too late”.

Iran has given mixed signals over the prospect of negotiations following reports that the Trump administration has offered a 15-point ceasefire plan that was presented to Tehran via Pakistan earlier this week. Publicly, Iranian state media has reported that Tehran has rejected the proposal, while privately some media reports suggest Iranian officials are at least reviewing it.

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told state media that his government has not engaged in talks to end the war and that it does not plan on any negotiations. While he acknowledged the US had tried to send messages to Iran through other nations, he said that was “not a conversation nor a negotiation”.

Writing on his Truth Social app, Trump said:

The Iranian negotiators are very different and “strange.” They are “begging” us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only “looking at our proposal.” WRONG!!! They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty!
