The deadline is Thursday. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Wednesday: accept his terms for peace, or face a new round of American military strikes against Iranian targets. The ultimatum came just days after the United States and Israel conducted coordinated attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, sending a clear signal that Washington is prepared to escalate further if diplomacy fails. Trump delivered the threat directly, framing it as a choice that Iran's leadership must now make.

Senior officials in Washington confirmed that the conditions include a full halt to uranium enrichment, an end to support for proxy forces across the Middle East, and binding international verification of any agreement. The White House has not published a formal document, but the message has been communicated through multiple channels, including back-channel diplomatic contacts in Oman. Tehran has so far responded with defiance. Iranian state media quoted government officials as saying the country would never negotiate under military pressure, and that any new attack would be met with a "decisive response.

" Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has not spoken publicly since the latest strikes, but senior commanders in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were reported to be on high alert. Russia and China both called for immediate de-escalation, while European foreign ministers convened an emergency session in Brussels to coordinate a response.
