WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Tehran on Friday, declaring that the United States will not entertain any diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflict short of an "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER."

In multiple Truth Social posts, the President laid out a hardline vision after the launch of Operation Epic Fury.

While the President previously suggested to Time magazine that military objectives could be met within four to five weeks, he clarified that he currently has "no time limits on anything."

Trump emphasized that his primary focus remains on "getting it done" regardless of how long the efforts last. 



Selection of new Iranian leadership required

The President’s vision for a post-conflict Iran hinges on the "selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s)" to replace the previous regime.

Trump has explicitly stated his desire to be "involved in the appointment" of a successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed alongside other senior leaders during initial strikes last Saturday.

Once a suitable leadership is in place, Trump promised that the US and its "brave allies" will work to bring the nation back from the "brink of destruction."

He projected a future where Iran becomes economically "bigger, better, and stronger than ever before" under American guidance.

Economic revitalization through MIGA initiative

Following a surrender, the President intends to launch an initiative he dubbed "MIGA" - Make Iran Great Again.

Trump expressed optimism for the country's potential, asserting that "IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE" once the current "unconditional" terms are met.

This hardline stance follows the President's recent orders to the DFC to provide maritime insurance for the Gulf, further leveraging US "ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT" to dictate terms in the region.

Trump concluded his remarks by thanking the public for their attention as Operation Epic Fury continues.
