President Donald Trump said Friday that there would be no deal to end the U.S. war against Iran without an “unconditional surrender” by Iran.
“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,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social that made his surrender ultimatum.
“IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!)” Trump wrote.
The futures price of the global benchmark Brent crude oil rose, breaking $90 per barrel after Trump posted his demand.
Trump last June made an identical demand of “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” by Iran in another social media post as he considered launching a military strike against that nation.
