US President Donald Trump issued an unprecedentedly harsh statement regarding the future of the Islamic Republic, effectively ruling out any diplomatic compromise at the current stage of the conflict. In his official address, the American leader emphasized that the United States does not intend to enter into any agreements with Tehran other than unconditional surrender. Trump made it clear that military and political pressure will continue until a complete change in government policy and the selection of new leaders deemed acceptable and capable by Washington to govern the country. According to the president, only after dismantling the current system of government will the United States, together with its courageous allies and partners, begin a large-scale reconstruction of the state, which, in his words, currently stands on the brink of collapse.

The White House strategy is now officially built around the concept of a complete reorganization of Iran under American control. Trump promised the Iranian people he would work tirelessly to make the country's economy bigger, better, and stronger than ever before, proclaiming a new slogan, "Make Iran Great Again" (MIGA). Despite the bellicose rhetoric of the ultimatum, the president emphasized the supposedly bright future that awaits the country after meeting all of Washington's demands. However, experts note that the demand for unconditional surrender and external control in the selection of the country's leadership escalates the conflict into an all-out confrontation, where diplomacy gives way to coercion. The international community has reacted with alarm to this signal, as the refusal to negotiate and the emphasis on complete regime change in Tehran make the prospect of a protracted and bloody war in the Middle East virtually inevitable.
