President Donald Trump of the United States [UPI=Yonhap News]
On the 6th (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump stated regarding the military operation against Iran, now in its second week, that "there will be no agreement with Iran other than unconditional surrender."
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, President Trump said, "After that, once fine and acceptable leaders are chosen, we and our many fine and very brave allies and partners will tirelessly work to lift Iran from the brink of destruction."
He continued, "This will make Iran economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before," adding, "Iran will have a great future."
He then wrote, "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA)." This is an expression modeled after his signature political slogan, "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (MAGA)."
President Trump's remarks on this day can be seen as an expression of his determination to engage in a protracted conflict if Iran resists, by making it clear that negotiations are only possible if Iran completely surrenders.
At the same time, his message that economic reconstruction can be supported if a friendly and moderate leadership enters Iran appears to confirm his resolve not to tolerate a future Iranian regime that adheres to the current system under Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an attack by U.S. and Israeli forces, and its anti-American policies.
President Trump has shown his intention to get involved in Iran's future leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a bombing by U.S. and Israeli forces.
In this process, President Trump has cited the case of Venezuela, which has maintained friendly relations with the United States after the ousting of President Nicolás Maduro.
This also seems to imply a plan to transition to a political and diplomatic phase after concluding the military operation against Iran by inducing the establishment of a pro-U.S. transitional government within Iran.
