Washington, June 10, 2026 — U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, saying the country will have to pay a “heavy price” while claiming that its military forces have been left in complete disarray.
In a post published on his social media platform, Trump asserted that Iran’s military had been decisively defeated. He claimed that the country’s air force and navy had effectively ceased to exist and described Iran as a power that “talks big” but fails to deliver meaningful action.
“They have been totally defeated,” Trump wrote, adding that what he called the “bully of the Middle East” had been brought to an end.
Trump also criticized Tehran for what he described as excessive delays in negotiations over a possible agreement with the United States. According to the president, Iran had wasted valuable time pursuing a deal that could have been beneficial to the country.
“They have taken far too long to make a deal that would have been great for them. Now they will pay a big price for it,” Trump said.
However, the U.S. president did not specify what consequences Iran might face or what measures the American administration could take in response.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with uncertainty continuing over the future of diplomatic efforts and regional security in the Middle East.
