President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran on Wednesday morning, hinting at new strikes on the Islamic Republic if Tehran refuses to compromise in nuclear talks.

Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself holding an assault rifle against a backdrop of explosions in the Middle East, under the text “No More Mr. Nice Guy.”

The image was accompanied by a brief message assailing Iran’s insistence on maintaining the right to enrich uranium.

“Iran can’t get their act together,” Trump wrote. “They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!”

The comment was posted hours after the president met with King Charles III in Washington, D.C.

During the meeting, Trump said that the monarch agreed with the administration that Iran must be barred from acquiring nuclear weapons.

“Charles agrees with me even more than I do; we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said during a state dinner event with the king.

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump claimed that Iran had reached out to the United States, requesting that the naval blockade on the Islamic Republic be lifted, adding that the country is in a “state of collapse.”

Trump recently rejected an offer by Tehran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international trade in exchange for an end to the war, while leaving the issue of Iran’s nuclear program unresolved.

This is not the first time Trump has threatened to end the ceasefire and resume hostilities with Iran.

On April 19, the president made similar comments after Iranian boats fired at several commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

“We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran,” Trump said.

“NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END!”

Just days later, however, the president agreed to extend the ceasefire with Iran, without setting a deadline for reaching an agreement.
