Middle East conflict escalates as Trump says it’s ‘Too Late’ for Iran Talks

Washington/Tehran, March 3 The conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran intensified on Tuesday, with US President Donald Trump declaring that Tehran’s request for negotiations had come “too late” as military operations continue across the region.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that Iran’s leadership and key military assets were “gone,” and warned that a “big wave” of strikes was yet to come. “We haven’t even started hitting them hard,” he said in a separate interview, signaling further escalation.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the strikes were intended to neutralize threats posed by Iran and to protect American forces in the region. He described the action as pre-emptive, citing intelligence that retaliation against US assets was imminent.
