The war with Iran is in its second week.
President Trump lowered the boom.
And all hell broke loose when Trump delivered Iran this final ultimatum.
President Trump posted on Truth Social that the war in Iran would continue until Iran submitted to “unconditional surrender.”
Trump also said this included the destruction of the current Iranian regime and the U.S. and Israel installing a pro-West government, at which point Trump would help “Make Iran Great Again (MIGA).”
“There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & 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, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!),” Trump wrote.
No President demanded unconditional surrender of an enemy in war since World War 2.
Some wondered if that was even possible, given that the opening round of strikes in the war decimated the Iranian regime,e leaving no one in charge.
Trump later told Axios that unconditional surrender from Iran could come when Trump deems the military destroyed, and Iran cannot fight back.
“Unconditional surrender could be that the Iranians announce it. But it could also be when they can’t fight any longer because they don’t have anyone or anything to fight with,” Trump stated.
Trump’s demands for unconditional surrender came after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote on X that some Gulf nations were trying to mediate an end to the war.
“Some countries have begun mediation efforts. Let’s be clear: we are committed to lasting peace in the region, yet we have no hesitation in defending our nation’s dignity & sovereignty. Mediation should address those who underestimated the Iranian people and ignited this conflict,” Pezeshkian posted.

Trump made it clear that the time for a deal is over.
This war will continue until Trump deems the United States victorious or Iran cries uncle.
