Iran-US-Israel War Latest Update: Iranian Adviser Warns Trump Over Deadline
A senior adviser linked to Iran’s parliamentary leadership issued a strong message aimed at the US President. Mahdi Mohammadi, a national security analyst and adviser to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, posted a warning on the social media platform X.
He wrote, “Iran has clearly and overtly won the war and will only accept an ending that consolidates its gains and creates a new security regime in the region. The true state of affairs is this: it is Trump who has about 20 hours to either surrender to Iran or his allies will return to the Stone Age. We will not back down!”
ایران جنگ را به وضوح و آشکارا برده و فقط پایان بندی را می پذیرد که دستاوردهای آن را تثبیت و رژیم امنیتی جدیدی در منطقه خلق کند. صورت درست مسئله این است: این ترامپ است که حدود ۲۰ ساعت فرصت دارد یا تسلیم ایران شود یا متحدانش به عصر پارینه سنگی بازخواهند گشت. ما کوتاه نمی آییم!

Military analysts have warned that any escalation in this region could impact global oil prices, shipping routes, and supply chains. Governments in several countries continue to monitor the situation closely as tensions rise between the two nations.
