WASHINGTON: US president Donald Trump has stepped forward with strict warning soon after Iran rejected peace talks to end Middle East war. ‘Deal or total surrender’ are the two options put forwarded by Trump on his social media Truth Social.

Trump accused Iran of being duplicitous. Iran has been begging for talks before publicly denying that any talks were taking place. We are talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused for decades. They say they will operate the Strait of Hormuz, but it is already under the control of the US Navy. The 'United States Wall of Steel' completely controls Hormuz. Access through the Strait will be completely under the control of the United States. Nothing will come to Iran unless we allow it. Nothing will happen until a deal or a complete surrender is made,’ Trump wrote on social media.


Trump had claimed that US-Iran talks would begin yesterday. However, Iran responded that they are not holding talks with US and has no plans to do so in the coming days. Trump had canceled the US bombing of Iran that was scheduled for Sunday, indicating that a deal to end the conflict would be reached soon. Trump claimed that he was giving talks a chance at the request of Iran and Middle Eastern countries and that there would be no new attacks for the time being.
