President Donald Trump has told Iran any agreement short of total capitulation is now off the table as his war against the Islamic regime continues to rage across the Middle East. “There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” the president wrote on Truth Social Friday, adding that he intends to replace current leadership so as to “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN!” Trump, who has historically made little secret of his contempt for America’s “Forever Wars” in the Middle East, has offered at least four different rationales for his ongoing assault against the country, which has now plunged the wider region into chaos. The most recent justification, which appears to have since stuck as the official White House line, is that the U.S. attacked Iran to protect U.S. interests from retaliation in the event Iran came under attack. He now adds that the war, which has already claimed thousands of lives and threatens to devastate much of the country’s infrastructure, will “bring Iran back from the brink of destruction.”
