U.S. President Donald Trump has ramped up pressure, stating, "Iran is out of its mind. They had better get a grip on the situation quickly."

On April 29 (local time), President Trump made these remarks in a brief post on his social media platform, Truth Social, further pressing Iran by saying, "They (Iran) don't even know how to make a nuclear-free agreement."

Under the post, President Trump also shared a photo of himself with the caption "No More Mr. Nice Guy." In the image, President Trump is wearing sunglasses and carrying a firearm, standing against a backdrop of explosions.

The United States has passed the two-month mark since the outbreak of war in the Middle East, but has been unable to find common ground with Iran regarding the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the issue of Iran's denuclearization, leaving peace negotiations unresolved.
