The statement marks one of the strongest political escalations since the war erupted earlier this week, as military operations across the Middle East continue to expand.
Trump Issues Stark Ultimatum
President Trump declared that there would be no negotiations or peace agreement with Iran unless the country completely surrenders. Posting the message publicly, he insisted that only after surrender would the United States and its allies consider helping rebuild the Iranian economy and political system.
Trump also suggested that Washington should play a role in selecting Iran’s future leadership following the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during the early phase of the conflict.
The demand has raised global concern, as many analysts believe such a position could prolong the war and make diplomatic solutions more difficult.
Israel Claims Strike on Iranian Leadership Bunker
At the same time, the Israel Defense Forces announced that it had carried out a large-scale airstrike targeting a massive underground bunker believed to be used by senior Iranian officials.
According to Israeli military sources, around 50 fighter jets were deployed in the operation, striking a bunker located beneath a destroyed compound linked to Khamenei in Tehran. The facility reportedly served as an emergency command center for Iran’s leadership.
Israeli officials described the attack as a significant blow to Iran’s command structure and its ability to coordinate military operations during the war.
Regional Conflict Continues to Escalate
The strikes come amid widening hostilities across the region. Israeli forces have also intensified bombardments in Beirut, while Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks against Israeli and allied targets.
Casualties and destruction continue to mount as both sides exchange strikes, and several countries have begun discussing mediation efforts in hopes of preventing the conflict from expanding further.
Diplomatic Uncertainty
Despite the escalating military actions, some governments are reportedly exploring diplomatic channels to stop the fighting. Iranian officials say mediation talks may already be underway, though no specific countries have been publicly identified.
For now, however, Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender and Israel’s ongoing air campaign suggest that the conflict may intensify before any negotiations can take place.
