Trump issues new threats to Iran: 'Make a deal or surrender'

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued new threats against Iran, asserting that negotiations are indeed underway despite Tehran's denials. He declared that the American blockade would persist until Iran either agrees to a deal or fully capitulates.

Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to state, "Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are actually talking about a solution to a problem they themselves have created for decades." This statement follows his earlier claim that Iran had been "begging for talks" before he called off a planned strike against the country, a decision he attributed to appeals from regional powers.

Iran has dismissed Trump's assertions as "pure lies," maintaining that their only ongoing discussions are with Oman concerning joint control over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump, however, dismissed these claims as "usual babble" from the Iranian regime. "The strait is already completely controlled by the U.S. Navy. Nothing gets through to Iran without our permission," he wrote, referring to the blockade as "America's steel wall."

The article notes that Trump and Israel initiated a conflict against Iran on February 28th with the objective of destroying its nuclear program and offensive capabilities, while also supporting a popular uprising against the regime. Despite these efforts, nearly six months later, Iran reportedly remains capable of firing missiles at neighboring countries hosting U.S. bases and possesses significant stockpiles of enriched uranium. The regime also remains in power.
