[67417] Donald Trump threatens military action against Iran and hints at the possibility of a deal

The tension between Washington and Tehran: Trump issues an ultimatum

In a series of statements published on May 19, 2026, United States President Donald Trump sent implicit but sharp threats toward Iran. According to reports on Telegram channels such as خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, Trump stated that the United States might be forced to strike "another major blow" against Iran, adding in a direct quote: "It is not certain yet, but you will know it very soon." Trump accused Iran of attempting to "destroy the Middle East," something he says "will not happen."

Parallel to the hawkish line, details about possible communication channels were revealed. On the حامیان پزشکیان channel, which is affiliated with supporters of the Iranian administration, a quote from Trump was published claiming that Iranian officials asked him to wait, arguing that they are "close to a deal." Conversely, the خبری پلاس|خبرفوری 🔖فوری channel described the Iranian position as a "plea" to reach a deal, with Trump noting that Iran is currently at a point where its "hands are tied" militarily.

On the international level, Trump emphasized the connection with Beijing. He noted that he received a personal promise from Chinese President Xi Jinping that China would not supply weapons to Iran. According to خبری پلاس|خبرفوری 🔖فوری, Trump chose to accept the Chinese word and said: "It's a beautiful promise, I accept his words and appreciate it."

An analysis of the sources suggests that while channels identified with Iranian elements (حامیان پزشکیان) emphasize the possibility of negotiations, channels identified with the "breaking news" stream and military communication (هات نیوز | فوری 🔴, صابرین نیوز) focus primarily on the military threat and Trump's willingness to use significant force.
