US PresidentDonald Trumpissued a stark ultimatum toIran, declaring there will be “no deal except unconditional surrender”as tensions in the region continue to escalate. In a fiery statement on his social media platform, Trump said Tehran must first surrender before any negotiations can take place, adding that once new and “acceptable” leadership is in place, the United States and its allies would help rebuild the country and restore its economy. The remarks come amid deepening conflict and rising fears of a wider war in the Middle East.
"There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP," Trump wrote.
Israeli airstrikes pounded the capitals of Iran and Lebanon as the US apparently struck an Iranian drone carrier at sea, intensifying its campaign targeting the Islamic Republic's fleet of warships. Iran launched new retaliatory attacks early Friday against neighbouring countries that host US forces. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The latest strikes mark a full week of attacks affecting countries across the Middle East.
The Israeli military said the fighting has destroyed most of Iran's air defences and missile launchers, while US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that strikes against Tehran were "about to surge dramatically."
Tehran has warned of the destruction of the Middle East's military and economic infrastructure, and the war has rattled financial markets.
