US President Donald Trump issued a blunt ultimatum to Iran, warning that American military strikes will intensify unless Tehran agrees to a deal with Washington. The warning came after the United States launched a fresh round of strikes on multiple Iranian targets, with US Central Command (CENTCOM) describing the attacks as “self-defense strikes" ordered by the US President.
Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst said he directly asked Trump what would happen if Iranian leaders refused to sign an agreement.
“I asked him what will happen if the Iranians do not sign an agreement," Yingst wrote.
“President Trump said, ‘We’ll bomb the s*** out of them tomorrow night.'"
The comments were amplified by Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who posted on X (formerly Twitter), “TRUMP’S MESSAGE TO IRAN: SIGN THE DEAL."
Trump’s latest remarks mark the strongest warning yet from the White House as tensions with Tehran continue to escalate. The US President has repeatedly argued that Iran is delaying negotiations and has coupled diplomatic outreach with threats of military action.
The fresh US strikes targeted multiple locations in Iran and CENTCOM said the operation was launched in response to what it called Iran’s continued aggression. Trump’s comments suggest the administration is pursuing a strategy that combines military pressure with a final push for negotiations. While threatening further attacks, the US President has continued to insist that a deal remains possible if Iran agrees to Washington’s demands.
Iran has not immediately responded to Trump’s latest ultimatum. However, Iranian officials have previously rejected what they describe as diplomacy conducted under military pressure and have accused Washington of undermining negotiations through its continued strikes.
