06/22/2025 / By Zoey Sky
- President Donald Trump demands Iran’s unconditional surrender, warning that the U.S. and its allies control Iran’s airspace and could target its leaders. He insists Iran must abandon its nuclear program, despite Tehran’s claims that it’s peaceful.
- Israel struck Iranian nuclear and military sites, killing commanders and civilians. Iran retaliated with missile attacks on Israel, both sides claiming air superiority and refusing to back down.
- Trump dismisses intelligence reports downplaying Iran’s nuclear threat, siding with Israel’s claim that Iran was close to a bomb. Iran vows to keep fighting, saying Israel can’t sustain a long war.
- Experts warn Trump’s surrender demand may push Iran into a corner, making war unavoidable. The U.S. is reinforcing military assets in the region, including fighter jets and an aircraft carrier.
- Neither side is willing to compromise. Trump hints at diplomacy but escalates threats, leaving the world on edge as tensions near a breaking point. A miscalculation could trigger a devastating war.
President Donald Trump has issued a blunt ultimatum to Iran: surrender unconditionally or face the consequences.
In a series of aggressive posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump recently declared that the U.S. and its allies now have “complete and total control of the skies over Iran.” He also warned that Tehran’s leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is not safe.
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but we are not going to take him out… at least for now,” Trump wrote. The thinly veiled threat was followed by another post in all capital letters: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
The demand comes as tensions between Israel and Iran reach dangerous new heights, with both sides exchanging missile strikes and threats in a conflict that shows no sign of slowing down. The latest escalation began after Israel launched airstrikes last week targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, military bases and a uranium enrichment center.
The attacks killed at least a dozen senior Iranian commanders and scientists, along with civilians. Iran then retaliated by firing dozens of ballistic missiles into Israel, prompting further counterstrikes.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has echoed Trump’s hardline stance, claiming Israel is “in control of the skies over Tehran” and urging residents to evacuate.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics has vowed to continue fighting, insisting Israel cannot sustain a prolonged war. In a televised statement, Brig. Gen. Reza Talayi-Nik said that the enemy “cannot endure a long war,” and that if this continues, “the back of the Zionist regime will be broken.”
Iran also boasted about deploying new missile systems in its latest strikes. Tehran claimed they hit Israeli intelligence facilities in Tel Aviv, despite Israel’s advanced air defenses.
Trump wants Iran to completely abandon its nuclear program
Trump’s demand for Iran’s surrender goes beyond a simple ceasefire. The president has made it clear he wants Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions entirely, but this is a demand that Tehran has repeatedly rejected, insisting its nuclear program is peaceful.

The president has also openly dismissed his own intelligence officials. In March, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated that Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon and that its weapons program had been frozen since 2003.
When asked about this assessment, Trump bluntly replied, that he doesn’t “care what she said.” Instead, Trump has aligned himself with Netanyahu’s justification for attacking Iran, claiming the country was on the verge of obtaining a nuclear bomb.
Experts warn that Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender may backfire, pushing Iran into a corner with no incentive to negotiate. Trita Parsi, an Iran expert at the Quincy Institute in Washington D.C., explained that if Iran “doesn’t believe surrender is a real option,” the country won’t accept it.
Parsi added that Iran could be worrying that Israel will keep demanding more, such as the dismantling of their missile program and their regional influence until there’s nothing left. This could then make war unavoidable.
The U.S. is already reinforcing its military presence in the Middle East, deploying additional fighter jets, including F-16s, F-22s, and F-35s, to intercept drones and missiles. Additionally, an aircraft carrier has been positioned in the region, giving Trump more options if the conflict worsens.
Trump has hinted that diplomacy is still possible, suggesting he could send Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff to negotiate with Tehran. But with his latest threats, it’s unclear whether Iran would even entertain talks.
