US President Donald Trump escalated tensions with Iran by warning the country to “get smart soon” over nuclear negotiations, hinting at stronger action including potential blockades. The remarks came during the ongoing Iran conflict and were reinforced by a social media post. Trump also claimed that King Charles III agrees with his stance that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons, following their meeting at a White House state dinner. However, Buckingham Palace responded cautiously, reaffirming neutrality. The comments have sparked diplomatic unease, given the monarch’s traditionally non-political role and ongoing UK-US tensions.
