US President Donald Trump has urged Iran to make a deal over its nuclear programme, saying he gave Tehran "chance after chance"

The talks between the US and Iran on a deal were about to enter their sixth round on Sunday.

"I told them, in the strongest of words, to “just do it,” but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done," Trump writes on Truth Social.

"There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end," he says.

"Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."

Trump previously said he was aware of Israel's plans before they launched strikes overnight, but made it clear the US military played no part in the operation.
