Trump threatens Iran with ‘a big hit’ unless US peace demands met | 9 News Australia
In this breaking global news update, US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Tehran, declaring that the United States military is “ready to go” to resume targeted strikes if ongoing peace negotiations fail. Tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate following a fragile ceasefire, with President Donald Trump confirming he recently came within just an hour of ordering a massive full-scale assault before postponing it to review a revised peace memo submitted by regional mediators.
Speaking directly to reporters, President Trump emphasized that any prospective diplomatic resolution must completely fulfill 100% of America’s strict demands. Amid intensive diplomatic back-and-forth involving state mediators from Qatar, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, the US leader made it clear that he is in “no rush” to force a subpar agreement, stating that the outcome must be a comprehensive and permanent end to the conflict.
In addition to his warnings to Iran, Donald Trump sparked significant international discussion with highly provocative comments regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Following a series of lengthy and dramatic phone calls between Washington and Jerusalem regarding the strategic direction of the war, Trump confidently claimed that the Israeli leader “will do whatever I want him to do,” playfully joking to reporters that his own sky-high approval ratings mean he could practically become the Prime Minister of Israel himself. Get the full breakdown and expert analysis on the shifting geopolitical goalposts from US Correspondent Lily Greer live from Los Angeles.
