In a bold response to U.S. President Donald Trump's impending deadline for negotiations, Mahdi Mohammadi, an adviser to Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, issued a stark ultimatum stating that Trump has 20 hours to surrender to Iran or face severe repercussions for American allies, who could be 'sent to the Stone Age.' This statement reflects Iran's firm stance as Trump's deadline approaches, which aims to secure an 'acceptable' deal that ensures the free flow of energy through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping lane that Iran has blockaded during the ongoing conflict. Trump has warned that if Iran does not comply, the nation could face devastating military action, stating, 'The entire country can be taken out in one night.' Despite the threats, Trump conveyed a degree of optimism, believing that 'reasonable' Iranian leaders are negotiating in 'good faith.' Iran has publicly dismissed a proposed temporary ceasefire, insisting instead on a permanent cessation of hostilities and the complete lifting of sanctions, indicating that diplomatic tensions are likely to escalate further.
