Makes sense - he wants to bomb them anyway, and doesn’t want the lack of a possible threat to get in the way.
Ironic that the political opposition including the MSM portrayed Trump as a fascist threat domestically - but main opposition in the US does not seem to care about the jackboots abroad. Same applies in the west. What a state politics is in

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he is not offering Iran anything and is not planning to engage in any talks with the regime in Tehran, following the strikes on their nuclear facilities on June 21.
Trump made his position clear in a social media post referencing Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who had mentioned press reports that the administration was moving towards an Obama-style nuclear deal.
In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said, “Tell […] Coons I am not offering Iran ANYTHING, unlike Obama, who paid them $Billions under the stupid […] road to a Nuclear Weapon JCPOA (which would now be expired!), nor am I even talking to them since we totally OBLITERATED their Nuclear Facilities.”
In a June 29 interview on Fox News, Coons said, “I’ll just note that President Trump, by press accounts, is now moving toward negotiation and offering Iran a deal that looks somewhat similar to the Iran deal that was offered by [former President Barack] Obama.”
Trump’s comments come as Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, told the BBC that Tehran would insist the United States must rule out further strikes before nuclear talks can resume.
‘Law of the Jungle’
Takht-Ravanchi said Iran would also insist on a right to enrich uranium for what it says is a program to produce nuclear energy and not weapons.
He said, “The level of that can be discussed, the capacity can be discussed, but to say that you should not have enrichment, you should have zero enrichment, and if do you not agree, we will bomb you, that is the law of the jungle.”

The United States and Iran were in talks about Tehran’s nuclear program when Israel launched airstrikes across Iran on June 13.
Over several days the Israeli air force bombed major targets in Iran, including nuclear facilities and missile sites. Tehran responded by launching drones and missiles at Israel.
On June 21, several U.S. B-2 bombers attacked three of Iran’s nuclear sites, including the Fordow facility, which is buried hundreds of feet underground in a mountainous region.
Fordow was targeted with the GBU-57, also known as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) or bunker-buster, a 30,000-pound bomb designed to burrow and explode deep underground.
On June 24, CNN, quoting a leaked early assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), suggested the Fordow facility had not been destroyed.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on the social media platform X, “This alleged ”assessment“ is flat-out wrong and was classified as ”top secret“ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community.”
“The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a statement, “Based on everything we have seen—and I’ve seen it all—our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons.”
On June 25, the White House published a statement titled “Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News.”

On June 23, Iran fired missiles at U.S. bases in Qatar. No casualties were reported.
Iranian leader Ali Khamenei said Iran had delivered a blow to the United States and claimed the U.S. air strikes on June 21 “achieved nothing.”
Grossi: Iran Could Enrich Uranium ‘Within a Few Months’
On June 29, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi said in a June 27 interview with CBS News that Iran could begin enriching uranium again within a few months.
“The capacities they have are there. They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that. But as I said, frankly speaking, one cannot claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there,” Grossi said.
“It can be, you know, described in different ways, but it’s clear that what happened in particular in Fordo, Natanz, Isfahan, where Iran used to have and still has, to some degree, capabilities in terms of treatment, conversion and enrichment of uranium have been destroyed to an important degree.”
