Iran's central military command has firmly rejected a recent ultimatum from US President Donald Trump, who threatened military action against the nation if a peace agreement is not reached within 48 hours. General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi characterized Trump's statements as a 'helpless' and 'unbalanced' response to the ongoing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane. Trump's ultimatum, conveyed through a post on his Truth Social platform, follows a previous extension he granted for negotiations regarding Iran's energy infrastructure, which he claimed was at the request of the Iranian government. This escalation in rhetoric signifies a stark departure from earlier diplomatic engagements, as Trump had previously indicated a pause on military actions against Iran's energy facilities. The situation continues to evolve, raising concerns over potential military confrontations in the region.
