(Adnkronos) – 262 days after the last time, Donald Trump returns to speak on his social media channels about “unconditional surrender”. In this case too, as on June 17, 2025, the recipient of the American president’s warning is Iran, which had then entered the fifth day of the so-called “12-day War” with Israel. That conflict ended with a ceasefire announced the following week and primarily mediated by the United States and Qatar. However, there was no surrender from the Iranian side. “There will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender,” Trump wrote today on Truth Social, thus excluding the possibility of a negotiated agreement.
At the time, Tehran maintained a defiant posture: Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei publicly declared to the United States that Iran “will never surrender” and that the attacks had not produced decisive results. Both sides claimed their own form of victory: Israel maintained that it had severely damaged the Iranian nuclear and missile program, while Iran claimed its ability to resist and inflict damage on the enemy.
