Trump demanded "unconditional surrender" from Iran. Previously, he “agreed to negotiate,” and then said that it was “too late” for that.
US President Donald Trump said he demands Iran to capitulate. On his social network Truth Social he wrote :
“There will be no agreement with Iran - except on the terms of unconditional surrender!”
After that, Trump said, Washington and its allies are ready to help Iran recover and build a strong economy under “great and acceptable leaders.” He ended the post with the slogan in his signature style: “Let's make Iran great again!” (MIGA)
Trump's current position is radically different from the one he held just a few days earlier. At the beginning of the war, in an interview with The Atlantic, he assured that the Iranian leadership itself requested dialogue and he agreed to it. Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani immediately denied the very idea of negotiations, saying on Twitter (X) that Tehran does not intend to negotiate anything with any of the Americans. Immediately after this, Trump wrote that it was “too late” for negotiations.
As the Atlantic wrote, Trump continues to rely on internal pressure on the Iranian regime. He recorded a video message calling on Iranians to rise up against the government after the bombing ended, attributing his confidence in the inevitability of change in Iran to street celebrations in Iranian cities and diaspora support events in New York and Los Angeles. The publication stipulated that at the same time mass anti-war demonstrations took place in a number of places.
The joint US-Israeli operation against Iran began on the morning of February 28. Trump assures that it will not affect Republican ratings before the midterm elections and will have less than expected impact on the oil market. At the same time, Qatari authorities believe that the Gulf countries may soon stop exporting energy resources if the United States and Israel do not stop the war against Iran, and Bloomberg warns that a disruption in the logistics of fertilizer supplies due to the war will cause a crisis in the global food sector.
