US President Donald Trump has urged Iran to 'get smart soon' and negotiate, as Russian President Vladimir Putin backed an extension of the US-Iran truce. The comments come amid heightened tensions and ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation.
Trump's Warning to Iran
Speaking to reporters, Trump reiterated his stance that Iran must change its behavior. 'They need to get smart soon,' he said, emphasizing that the US is open to talks but will not tolerate further provocations. The President also highlighted the impact of US sanctions on Iran's economy.
Putin's Support for Truce Extension
Meanwhile, Putin expressed support for extending the current truce between the US and Iran. In a statement, the Russian leader called for continued dialogue and a peaceful resolution. 'We believe that extending the truce is a positive step,' Putin said, adding that Russia is ready to facilitate negotiations.
The truce, which has helped reduce hostilities, is seen as a fragile but crucial element in preventing a full-scale conflict. Both US and Iranian officials have indicated willingness to extend the agreement, though key differences remain.
Global Reactions
International leaders have welcomed the potential extension, with many urging both sides to seize the opportunity for lasting peace. The European Union and United Nations have also called for renewed talks.
As the situation evolves, all eyes remain on Tehran and Washington for their next moves. The coming days will be critical in determining whether the truce holds and leads to broader negotiations.
