[53101] Trump sets deadline for Iran: One week for an agreement or a powerful renewal of strikes

Diplomatic contacts and military threats against Iran

In a series of dramatic statements, US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, giving it only one week to reach an agreement before his scheduled trip to China, as reported in News 8200. Trump noted that if a deal is not reached, the US will return to "old ways" and take extensive military action. According to a report in YINONEWS, the President clarified that as part of the emerging agreement, Iran will be required to transfer its enriched uranium to the US and stop using underground facilities.

Suspension of the operation in the Strait of Hormuz

Alongside the contacts, Trump confirmed that at the request of Pakistan, it was decided to temporarily suspend the "Freedom Project" (Operation Hormuz Liberation) intended to ensure maritime traffic in the strait, as published by Amit Segal. On the News from the Field Telegram channel (which tends towards positions positive to the US and Israel), Trump was quoted as saying: "Assuming that Iran agrees to give what was agreed upon... the most effective siege will allow the Strait of Hormuz to be open to everyone." However, he emphasized that should negotiations fail, "the bombings will begin, and unfortunately they will be at a much higher level and intensity than before."

Coordination between Israel and the US

In Jerusalem, developments are being followed closely. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on News Line that there is full coordination with the American administration, with Israel's primary goal remaining the removal of enriched material from Iran and the dismantling of enrichment capabilities. Official sources clarified that Israel is preparing for any scenario, including the possibility of an additional American strike if Iran refuses the conditions.

Complexity of the situation on the ground

Sources identified with the Axis of Resistance, such as 301 News Arab World (which sometimes present a critical line regarding US and Israeli policy), reported that there is a certain willingness for negotiations in Tehran, but accused the US of rigid demands. At the same time, ongoing security incidents were reported, including strikes in the southern Lebanon area and reports of damage to a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which highlights the high regional tension as the parties attempt to formulate a framework for settlement.
