No deal except unconditional surrender: Trump's message for Iran as war deepens
India Today
Trump's call for Iran's complete surrender comes nearly a week after the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Islamic Republic, triggering retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the Middle East and raising fears of a wider war.
US President Donald Trump on Friday hardened his stance on Iran, stating that there will be "no deal" with the country except its "unconditional surrender" as the conflict in the Middle East spiralled into a broader war.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Tehran would have to capitulate before any diplomatic pathway could emerge.
"After that, and the selection of a great and 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," Trump said, adding that they would help revive Iran’s economy.
"Iran will have a great future. Make Iran Great Again!" he added, a play on his Make America Great Again (MAGA) catchphrase.
