"The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!! They've taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!" Trump wrote in a social media post.
Iranian Foreign Ministry said on June 10 that the United States had damaged the ongoing international diplomatic effort to end the war, after more U.S. strikes on targets in southern Iran.
