Joe Sommerlad – The Independent April 29, 2026
President Donald Trump has issued an astonishing new threat against Iran, posting a mocked up picture of himself brandishing an assault rifle with the strapline: “No more Mr Nice Guy!”
“Iran can’t get their act together,” the president wrote on Truth Social early Wednesday morning. “They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!”
The threat was accompanied by a meme of Trump, stood against a Middle Eastern backdrop of explosions devastating a hillside, wearing a dark suit and sunglasses and holding the heavy-duty firearm.
Talks with Iran have reached a stalemate after eight weeks of war, with another round of peace talks recently scrapped.
The president is currently hosting Britain’s King Charles III in Washington, D.C., for a four-day visit and said during an address in the East Room of the White House on Tuesday evening that the monarch “agrees” that Iran should never have a nuclear weapon, roping his majesty into the poltically-sensitive conflict.
“We’re doing a little Middle East work right now and we’re doing very well,” Trump said at the dinner.
“We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever – Charles agrees with me even more than I do – we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.”
A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace responded: “The king is naturally mindful of his government’s long-standing and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.”
Earlier Tuesday, the president wrote on his social media platform: “Iran has just informed us that they are in a ‘State of Collapse.’ They want us to ‘Open the Hormuz Strait,’ as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!)”
Tehran responded to the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes launched on February 28 as part of Operation Epic Fury by launching retaliatory strikes on its neighboring Gulf states that host American and Israeli military assets and then by blockading the strait, through which approximately one-fifth of the world’s oil passes, sparking a global surge in gas prices.
The U.S. military has responded by closing off Iran’s ports but the failure to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict while an uneasy ceasefire holds is proving an ongoing cause of tension around the world.
Also Tuesday, Trump lashed out at German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, posting: “The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about!
“If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage. I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago. No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise!”
The president has insisted he is under “no time pressure” to reach a peace agreement with Iran and will prioritize a “good deal for the American people”, but a significant gulf remains between both sides on key issues, hence the decision to abandon a proposed second round of peace talks in Pakistan.
Experts have noted that while the closure of the strait is costing Tehran as much as $435 million a day, it has shown a far greater resilience than expected in the face of U.S. hostilities and have warned that a prolonged campaign could ultimately end up boosting the authoritarian regime.
While Trump has insisted he is under no immediate pressure to find a solution, he has midterm elections to win in November and will want to have his unpopular war wrapped up well before then, as concerns about its impact on the domestic economy continue to eat into his approval rating.
The president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have repeatedly talked up America’s military successes in the conflict.
But Vice President JD Vance, known to be skeptical about the war, is reported to have asked privately whether Trump is getting accurate information about U.S. progress or is merely being told what he wants to hear by the Pentagon.
How come Trump didn’t post a real photo of himself holding a real M16 in the jungles of Vietnam?
Oh, of course! He didn’t dare go. Five times he didn’t dare go.
Somebody should tell Trump to show some humility. If he says he doesn’t know what humility means tell him it means there’s a Viet Cong soldier out there carrying a bullet with his name on it. Then he might quit the tough guy talk, least for a while.
Trump and his Zio masters are totally delusional. No one believes their lies anymore.
The deal ought to be that Iran does not develop nuclear arms in exchange for the rogue nation of Israel being forced to give up its own nuclear arsenal, and getting out of all occupied territories. Otherwise, the only security for the people in the area will be a balance of power with Iran having as large a nuclear arsenal as Israel.
“We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: ‘Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.’ I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.”

Here we go again, ‘Nuclear Weapons’
Nuclear weapons are really beginning to sound as hollow as the un-holy, holyhoax.
ATTENTION PLEASE!
If the deranged Satanic psychopath US president, Donny J. Genocide Trump, starts up again the war of aggression against Iran before the mid-term elections in November, it will most likely be during the night to the first coming Saturday, May 2.
Then we have the relatively rare Kabbalistic combinations as Jews seems to be dependent on to start new wars, or commit something else big for Satan: full moon and Shabat is a such combination. Last time the rapist pedo started war against Iran, February 28 this year, the strong and rare Kabbalistic combination was: Shabat, Purim and full moon.

BTW:
Iran wasn’t responsible for 9/11. Iran didn’t attack the USS Liberty. Iran hasn’t co-opted 98% of our national legislators. Iran isn’t the one pushing immigration to western nations. Iran wasn’t running Epstein. Iran isn’t pushing the woke agenda in the US. Iran isn’t running Hollywood. Iran doesn’t control most of our media. Iran didn’t engineer the imposition of the ‘federal’ reserve. Iran didn’t sell our military secrets to China. Iran didn’t help lie us into the Iraq war. Iran did not assassinate Charlie Kirk and JFK, and had nothing to do with the twin towers or building 7.
You may guess once who is responsible for all that.
Like I’ve always stated, let Trumpkin and all the members of the Epstein List including the Khazars that orchestrated this con job, and the other elite groups, go find an AK47, helmet and water bottle and stick the M’th’rf’k’rs in the front line!!
@Cuba
The IDF can’t even win anything against Hamas and Hezbollah – they only like to use women and children as target practice – maybe Martin should take a closer look at history and I still remember the USS Liberty.
What a f*cking disgrace. That absurdly mendacious bloviating colostomy bag should be whipped in the street, get his tongue nailed to a tree stump, and jack-hammered in his fat ass with a giant mechanical rubber fist while getting pelted with wads of pig shit.
