"Trump stated, 'If they don't agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.' This reflects the serious consequences Iran faces if negotiations fail."
"Reports indicated that the US expected Iran to respond to several key points in the next 48 hours, marking a critical moment in the negotiations to end the conflict."
"Iran has threatened to deploy mines, drones, missiles, and fast-attack craft, making passage through the strait too risky for commercial shipping and raising fuel prices around the world."
Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, demanding acceptance of a deal to end the war or face intensified US bombing. This announcement followed reports of progress in stalled negotiations between the US and Iran. Trump referred to the military operation against Iran launched in February, stating that if Iran does not agree, bombing will escalate. Reports indicated that the US and Iran were close to a memorandum of understanding, but uncertainty remained. Additionally, Trump paused a naval effort to assist stranded commercial ships in the strait of Hormuz due to safety concerns.
