Iran war: Trump tells Iranian leaders to make deal or surrender

President Donald Trump issued a statement on Monday demanding that Iran either negotiate a deal or face total surrender. The ultimatum follows Iran’s public denial that it is currently engaged in any diplomatic negotiations with the United States. Trump characterized the Iranian government as duplicitous for openly rejecting the existence of such talks.

In response to the standoff, the President confirmed that the United States military blockade against Iran will remain in effect. The administration’s stance maintains that the current pressure campaign will persist until Iranian leadership agrees to terms or concedes entirely.
