President Donald Trump pressed Iran over end-of-war negotiations, saying the country "hasn't come to its senses."
Trump posted the remarks on Truth Social at about 4 a.m. Eastern on April 29 (local time).
"They'd better figure it out fast," he wrote, adding, "They (Iran) don't even know how to make a denuclearization deal."
He also posted an image titled "No More Mr. Nice Guy." The picture shows Trump wearing sunglasses with bombing in the background.
AFP said it believed Trump posted the message as end-of-war talks between the United States and Iran stalled.
Separately, The Wall Street Journal reported the previous day that Trump told aides to prepare to extend a maritime blockade on Iran.
The United States has limited military action since a ceasefire with Iran on April 7, but has increased economic pressure through steps including the maritime blockade. A senior U.S. official said Iran is suffering major economic damage because of the blockade.
