President Donald Trump issued a series of statements Monday evening offering Iran a 'last chance' before a 'beheading' (decapitation) strike, according to i24NEWS journalist Amichai Stein.
Trump said he wants to give Iran every possible opportunity before the strike, adding that he hopes Tehran will be 'reasonable.' He also confirmed that the United States was scheduled to strike Iran last night (Sunday) but opted to extend a final diplomatic window. 'Tomorrow is Iran's last chance,' Trump said in one of the remarks.
The statements are the latest in a cycle of escalating threats and negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Earlier this evening, Trump said the US was about to launch an attack 'harder than any since World War II,' and that negotiations are ongoing 'right now.' The Zioneer has been tracking the thread in real time, with multiple bulletins published this evening.
The source for the latest remarks is a single journalist, Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). No official White House or Iranian response has been confirmed as of 21:37 Jerusalem.
