Trump posted that Iran had 'taken too long to negotiate a deal' and would 'have to pay the price', and later told reporters in the Oval Office that 'we're going to be attacking them, and attacking them very hard', citing the helicopter as grounds and accusing Iran of 'playing us for suckers'. President Masoud Pezeshkian replied that Iran would stand firm against any pressure or threat.
