US President Issues Stark Ultimatum to Iran
US President Donald Trump declared that Iran risks being thrust back to the Stone Age within two to three weeks unless it engages in successful negotiations. He emphasized that failure to reach an agreement would prompt simultaneous strikes on the nation’s power plants.
Trump’s comments heighten tensions amid ongoing disputes over Iran’s role in regional conflicts, including support for Houthi activities and threats to international shipping lanes. Sources confirm the president views such measures as essential to compel compliance.
“Iran will be reverted to the Stone Age within 2-3 weeks,” Trump stated firmly. “If no deal materializes, power plants will face coordinated attacks.”
Broader Context of US-Iran Standoff
The remarks come as the US rallies allies for tougher sanctions against Iran. Trump highlighted reluctance from some European and Asian nations to impose penalties despite Iran’s alleged involvement in ship attacks. He specifically noted that over 45,000 nationals from one Asian country reside in the UAE, facing potential risks, yet support for sanctions remains limited.
Officials indicate the administration prioritizes protecting maritime security and countering proxy threats. Analysis reveals Iran’s infrastructure vulnerabilities could amplify the impact of targeted operations.
