United States President Donald Trump on Friday said there would be "no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender" as tensions continued to rise in West Asia. He asserted that Tehran must capitulate before any diplomatic negotiations could begin.
In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said the United States and its allies, particularly Israel, would only consider an agreement with Iran after the country’s leadership had completely yielded and been replaced by what he described as "great & acceptable leader(s)".
