Trump Demands “Nothing Less than Complete Surrender” and Vows a “Real End” to Iran’s Nuclear Programme

President Donald Trump has demanded a “complete give-up” by Iran and a “real end” to its nuclear programme, as speculation mounts that the US will join the conflict despite resistance from some senior officials. The Mail has more.

“I’m not looking for a ceasefire, we’re looking at better than a ceasefire,” Trump told reporters as he landed back in the US from a G7 summit in Canada. The President added he was looking for “an end, a real end, not a ceasefire”.

Trump last night refused to sign a joint statement with fellow G7 leaders calling for de-escalation in the conflict before storming out of the summit, saying he had to get back to Washington early “for obvious reasons”.

Speaking from Air Force One, he then furiously denied claims made by French President Emmanuel Macron that he was heading back to work on a ceasefire, calling his counterpart “publicity seeking” and a “nice guy” but one who “doesn’t get it right too often”.

He said that Israel had no intention of stopping its offensive, telling reporters: “The Israelis aren’t slowing up their barrage on Iran. … You’re going to find out over the next two days. You’re going to find out. Nobody’s slowed up so far.”

Meanwhile Israeli media reported that the US is preparing to join an attack on Iran “if President Donald Trump gives the green light”.

An unidentified official told i24 News that “US Central Command thinks it should join, but there are senior officials in the administration who are currently opposing the move”.

Washington is seemingly gearing up for confrontation in the Middle East, with a carrier strike group and three destroyers in the Arabian Sea and the USS Nimitz expected to arrive in the region in the coming days.

Trump earlier called for the “immediate evacuation of Tehran” and branded Iran “foolish” for not signing a deal with the US on its nuclear programme before Israeli strikes began. 

It comes as the war between the arch foes enters its fifth day and Israel ramps up attacks aimed at destroying Iran’s contested nuclear work.

Earlier this morning, Israel announced that it had assassinated Iran’s wartime chief of staff, the closest official to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, just days after his predecessor was killed in strikes.

Further USA aircraft on way to middle east bases along with allied aircraft (RAF, despite spluttered claims by 2TK to placate the UK Islamist vote). Two aircraft carrier battle groups soon to be in the area. Heavy bombers stationed within strike range weeks so. It’s pretty obvious what is about to happen. And the mullahs hope that Muslim countries whose rulers hate them as much as Iran’s own population do will help out, including by a nuclear strike. This is not going to end well for Iran.

I think you’re right, and we might prove the folly of allowing an army of Muslims in to this country at the same time.

I don’t want Israel to bomb Khamenei, because vapourising the evil bugger would be too humane. It’d be great if they could capture him alive and do unto him but a fraction of the horrific torture and brutality that he and his regime have seen fit to dole out to innocent Iranians, whose only ‘crime’ was to dissent and bravely take a stand for their human rights and freedom. He needs to know suffering, though I’m not holding my breath this is how the story will end. Meanwhile, imagine being such a deluded nincompoop that you’d pledge your support to wicked scumbags who would imprison/torture/kill you in a heartbeat. But regardless of the identity of terrorists they choose to support, it’s only ever been about the anti-Israel/Jew hate. It’s why they choose Palestine and not Sudan or Yemen, for instance, to virtue-signal and pretend to care about; ”It should surprise precisely no one that Western leftists have decided to put their weight behind an antisemitic, misogynist, theocratic, murderous regime. When Israel launched its attack on Iran last week, the pro-Palestine set immediately began to cheer for the Islamic Republic of Iran.  The justification for this response from activists, politicians, and… Read more »

Tommy nails it. Plenty women in Iran in possession of a full set of lady balls. They put Western female enablers and traitors to shame;

“The real feminists of our generation are the women fighting the Islamic regime in Iran”

“Trump Demands “Nothing Less than Complete Surrender” 
So let’s hope the outrageously expensive, hilariously, ineffective US military stay out of it and let Israel get on with it and finish the job.

He will end up getting assassinated not by some disgruntled leftie but by one of his own erstwhile followers. The sense of betrayal that they feel has a dark funereal quality about it. The man who said he would extricate the country from foreign entanglements and perpetual war and would put his own country first. Can you imagine the size of the force arrayed against him now. Of course he has no qualms about using the same terroristic tactics on his own citizens but he wouldn’t get away with it. A conman pretending to be clever. A fool who became wise in his own conceit. The end will not be a pretty one.

Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Lebanon. You really must be naive if you think that these operations were successful. You are crazy if you think you can defeat the Shia with this cheap western model. It is a very dark melancholy culture. The music in Iran is about lost love and martyrdom. You can see who is going to win even if Iran is hit with nuclear missiles they will still win because of the spirit of the times. We will have to endure a full nuclear exchange but afterwards the Persian influence will be very powerful because it remained occluded for so long. The whole world is with Iran now and there isn’t a force on earth that can stop it.

You have no understanding and by you I mean the governing classes. Iranians can be very materialistic and into the finer things in life, even more so than the Jews. I know this culture very well. But there is a deeper element whch is the Shia element in Persian society. This element predates Mohammedism and belongs to the Zoroastrian culture. The worse you make it for them the harder they fight and the more miserable it gets the better. I wouldn’t advise getting into a war of attrition with the Shia.

Now we are beginning to learn what hatred of the Anglo-Americans really looks like. We have the entirety of the global south on our side and a very significant chunk of western opinion. Guess what, we hate you just as much as you hate us. Go right ahead and destroy and just look at how long you last. You have shown yourselves to be utter monsters and the whole world can see that. Four hundred years of squalid empire laid bare.

Well that was a very accurate comment about the little French Bantam. Shame we didn’t get something similar about Two-Tier.
