A spokesman for the Central Command of the Iranian Armed Forces issued a strong statement on Saturday evening. “The illusion of defeating the Islamic Republic of Iran has turned into a quagmire into which you will sink,” he warned. The statement is a response to growing pressure from Washington and Tel Aviv.
War in Iran. Donald Trump gives an ultimatum
On Friday, Trump published a post on his Truth Social website in which he recalled the previous conditions. “Remember how I gave Iran 10 days to MAKE AN AGREEMENT or OPEN THE Strait of ORMUZ? Time is running out – 48 hours before hell breaks out there. To GOD be the glory! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” we read on the social media site.
Trump wavered between threats and diplomacy, sometimes arguing that Tehran was open to negotiations, the Wall Street Journal reported. The US president had previously suggested the possibility of a diplomatic solution to the conflict, but the latest ultimatum indicates that Washington's position has become tougher.
Tehran on Friday rejected Washington's offer of an agreement. The Iranian authorities did not agree to the terms proposed by the American administration.
