President Trump stands firm as Iran faces pressure from all sides.
President Donald Trump sent a powerful message to Iran’s leadership this week: surrender unconditionally — or face the consequences. Speaking during a patriotic ceremony on the White House lawn, Trump endorsed Israeli airstrikes on Iran and declared it was “too late” for Tehran to return to the negotiating table over its nuclear program.
Trump Backs Israel, Calls for Iran’s “Unconditional Surrender”
“It’s very simple,” Trump told reporters. “Unconditional surrender. No more games.”
He directed his warning straight at Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, saying Iran is “totally defenseless” after six days of precision airstrikes by Israel. The President added that the time for talk had come and gone.
“I gave them 60 days to make a deal — they didn’t take it,” Trump said. “Now we deal with what’s next.”
Iran Out of Options as Trump Signals Possible U.S. Action
While Trump didn’t confirm whether the U.S. would join Israel in the offensive, he left the door open: “I may do it. I may not. Nobody knows what I’m going to do.”
He emphasized the U.S. goal is clear: stop Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. “That’s the line. And I tried to do it the nice way. They didn’t listen,” Trump said.
Despite reports that Iranian officials wanted to open talks at the White House, Trump dismissed the effort as too little, too late. Even Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to mediate — but Trump brushed it off: “Let’s fix Russia first.”
Trump: “The Iranian People Deserve Better”
Trump distinguished the regime from the Iranian people, calling them “smart” and “resilient,” but victims of a brutal theocracy. “I know a lot of Iranians in New York. They’re tough — but they’re getting the hell beaten out of them.”
Ayatollah Khamenei responded defiantly on social media, rejecting Trump’s demands and accusing America of making empty threats. Trump’s reply was simple: “Good luck.”
America First: No Endless Wars, No Nuclear Iran
Amid concerns from some in his populist base about potential U.S. involvement in another prolonged conflict, Trump reassured Americans: “We’re not looking for a long-term war. We’re looking for results.”
The president also noted that his approval rating has reached new highs since taking this stand, showing strong public support.
“All I said was, you can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. “They had 60 days. They ignored it. So we’re done waiting.”
Bottom Line: Trump Shows Strength, Iran Scrambles for Options
President Trump’s unwavering stance reflects a broader shift in U.S. foreign policy: peace through strength, no compromise with terror-sponsoring regimes, and America First — always.
