President Donald Trump issued Iran a warning Wednesday by demanding that they “better get smart soon” as it relates to reaching a deal with the United States on de-nuclearization, posting an image of himself appearing to have been created with generative artificial intelligence holding an AR-15-style rifle in front of a barrage of explosions.“Iran can’t get their act together,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 4:05 AM Eastern. “They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!”The image posted with his remarks depicts Trump holding a rifle and wearing a black suit and sunglasses. Behind him is mountainous terrain similar to Iran’s, with multiple explosions hitting what appear to be military compounds or buildings.“NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” reads text plastered on the image.Peace talks between Washington and Tehran have stalled, with one of the major sticking points being Israel’s refusal to halt its strikes against Lebanon, a key demand of Iran, and in spite of Trump explicitly ordering Israel to cease its attacks on its northern neighbor.
