Trump’s Stern Message to Iran: “In 10 Days We’ll Know, Agreement or… Bad Things”

Donald Trump stated that he has given himself ten days to decide whether an agreement with Iran is possible, warning that if it fails, “bad things” will happen. This statement was made during the first session of the newly established “Peace Council” whose objective is to resolve armed conflicts and rebuild Gaza. At the same time, the US financial contribution of $10 billion to the UN was announced, as well as funds for projects in Gaza and humanitarian aid. The “Peace Council” meeting took place in the US capital amid speculation about a potential US military intervention in Iran. Trump emphasized that peace is difficult to achieve and warned Iran about the consequences of failing to reach an agreement. The atmosphere at the meeting was particularly relaxed, with music from Trump's favorite artists and greetings to the participants. In his speech, Trump greeted allies such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Argentine President Javier Milei, while also mentioning the presence of FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The meeting was attended by representatives from 47 countries and the European Union (as an observer) to discuss the reconstruction and stabilization of Gaza. The meeting took place at the “Peace Institute” which now bears the name of Donald Trump. Cyprus was represented by Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos.
