U.S. President Donald Trump issues a new ultimatum to Iran, warning that if Tehran does not agree to an emerging peace deal, the United States will resume bombing “at a much higher level and intensity” than before. Multiple outlets report Trump makes the threat via social media, saying that if Iran does not accept the terms, “the bombing starts” and would be at a higher level of force. The warnings come as reporting indicates the U.S. and Iran are nearing or discussing a possible agreement, with some coverage describing stalled negotiations and other coverage citing claims of progress. While the outlets differ slightly in phrasing—some characterize the message as “higher level” bombing or “unprecedented” bombing—the core message is consistent: Trump links any escalation directly to Iran’s acceptance or refusal of a deal intended to end the conflict. The reports also frame the announcement as part of rapidly shifting policy signals around the Middle East crisis, with negotiations discussed in parallel to the threat of renewed attacks.
