Trump Says Iran Conflict Is ‘Over,’ Demands Deal or ‘Total Capitulation’
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that what he described as the “adventure with Iran” is over, while warning that Tehran now faces a choice between reaching an agreement with Washington or accepting what he called “total capitulation.”
Speaking publicly, Trump stated, “From now on, nothing will enter Iran, except if we want it, and nothing will enter as long as an agreement or a complete surrender has not been reached.”
The remarks signal a hardline stance toward Iran, suggesting that the United States intends to maintain maximum pressure until a diplomatic agreement is reached or Iran meets U.S. demands. Trump did not provide details on how such restrictions would be implemented or specify any new policy measures.
The comments come amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran and follow weeks of heightened military and diplomatic activity in the region. Iranian officials had not immediately responded to Trump’s latest statements.
If accurately quoted, Trump’s remarks represent a significant escalation in rhetoric, although no official announcement of new sanctions, a blockade, or other policy changes accompanied the statement.
