US President Donald Trump escalated tensions with Iran after posting a warning on Truth Social, telling Tehran to “get smart soon,” according to reports from Reuters and other outlets.
The post included an AI-generated image of Trump holding a gun with explosions in the background, signaling a tougher stance as negotiations remain stalled. The report said talks over Iran’s nuclear program and regional tensions have hit a deadlock, with Trump canceling a planned diplomatic trip to Pakistan.

According to officials, Iran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz if the US lifts its blockade and ends the conflict. However, Trump has rejected the approach, insisting Washington holds the advantage.
The report said oil markets reacted quickly, with crude prices rising sharply. Ongoing geopolitical tensions and supply concerns are adding pressure to global energy markets.
