Trump Drops Urgent Warning That Sends Shockwaves Through Tehran

President Donald Trump issued his most urgent warning yet in the spiraling conflict between Iran and Israel, calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran and reiterating his red line: Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. The call, made Monday on Truth Social, comes as Israeli airstrikes continue to decimate Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure, and just days after Iran signaled it might be willing to negotiate.

“Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign,” Trump wrote. “What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

Trump’s message comes on the heels of his rejection of a G7 statement that merely called for “monitoring” Iran’s nuclear activities. According to Breitbart, the president dismissed the document as toothless, reportedly insisting that anything short of a complete halt to uranium enrichment is unacceptable. The administration has made clear that enrichment past low levels serves no civilian purpose and is a stepping stone to developing nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, reports suggest Iran has privately approached both the U.S. and Israel with proposals to halt hostilities in exchange for renewed negotiations. Some have speculated that Iran may even be willing to dismantle parts of its nuclear program to preserve regime stability following Israel’s punishing attacks.

Israeli airstrikes, launched Friday, have reportedly eliminated key leadership figures and destroyed vital infrastructure, including command centers and broadcast facilities. According to multiple outlets, the air campaign achieved air superiority over Tehran, giving Israel freedom to strike at will while minimizing risk to its pilots.

This show of force appears to be pushing the Iranian regime to the brink. Some outlets claim Tehran is eager to “end the war” and might be offering substantial concessions. But the Trump administration remains skeptical. By refusing to accept a monitoring-only regime and instead demanding full cessation of enrichment, Trump is raising the stakes — and giving Iran little room to maneuver.

Critics of the president have accused him of using strongman tactics and risking broader war, but Trump’s supporters view his uncompromising stance as a much-needed correction to what they see as years of appeasement. The previous Iran deal, championed by the Obama administration, has long been a point of contention among nationalists, who argue it paved the way for Iran’s covert nuclear development.

While the Biden-era foreign policy establishment emphasized diplomacy and international consensus, Trump is taking a more unilateral approach — pressuring Iran directly while giving Israel the military and political space to operate aggressively.

As the situation evolves, the president has also refused to sign on to tepid diplomatic efforts. Reports indicate that Trump nixed a draft document that lacked strong language about halting Iran’s enrichment altogether. For Trump, it appears the line is clear: there will be no more half-measures or drawn-out talks that allow Iran to play for time.

The message is unmistakable. By calling for the evacuation of Tehran, Trump is warning civilians to get out of harm’s way — and suggesting that far more severe actions may be on the table. Whether this is a final warning or a prelude to deeper U.S. involvement remains to be seen.

For now, President Trump’s stance is firm: No nuclear weapons for Iran. No more stalling. And no more empty diplomatic gestures. The world is watching — and Tehran may have little time left to decide its fate.
