Iranian Foreign Minister stated that U.S. President Donald Trump, who he said started the war with a tweet demanding unconditional surrender, begged for negotiations after 20 days, according to a single report.
The Iranian Foreign Minister's statement accuses President Trump of initiating military confrontation and then reversing course. The claim references a tweet by Trump demanding 'unconditional surrender' — a phrase that has appeared in previous escalated rhetoric between the two countries. While the precise context of the alleged tweet is not detailed in the report, the accusation adds another layer to the complex and volatile diplomatic dynamic between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer has previously documented, the Trump administration has oscillated between threats of overwhelming force and calls for negotiation, with both sides exchanging ultimatums and counter-proposals. This single-source report has not been independently verified.
