In a context of maximum tension in the Middle East, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, issued a direct ultimatum to the Iranian regime: there are 48 hours left to reach an agreement or face an even greater escalation of the conflict.
The message was published on his social network Truth, where the president recalled that he had previously given Tehran a deadline of 10 days. Now, with a stronger tone, he argued that “time is running out” and warned that, if there is no progress, the consequences
will be severe. The statement was issued on the president's social network.
Far from moderating the conflict, Trump made it clear that recent military events will not alter Washington's position. After the shooting down of a US F-15 fighter in Iranian territory, the president stated that this is an open war scenario and ruled out that the
incident would slow down negotiations.
In parallel, the United States deployed an extensiverescue operationto recover the crew of the downed plane. One of the pilots was rescued alive, while the search for the second one continues. During the operation, Blackhawk helicopters were hit by Iranian fire, although
without fatalities.
The escalation was not limited to that episode. On the same day, there was also the crash of an A-10 attack aircraft, whose pilot managed to eject and was recovered in allied territory. In total, Iranian forces managed to hit multiple U.S. aircraft on a day that reflects the level of intensity of the
conflict.
This scenario is part of the military operation promoted by Washington in conjunction with Israel, known as “Epic Fury”. The offensive, which began weeks ago, has already had a strong impact on the Iranian power structure, with more than 2,000 confirmed deaths, including senior officials of
the regime. Images of the downed F-15.
Attempts at international mediation have not yet made concrete progress, and from Tehran they say they consider the conditions imposed by the United States unacceptable. The proposal for a nuclear agreement promoted by Trump was rejected by the Iranian authorities

Meanwhile, the conflict already has global consequences. The attacks in the Gulf region and the pressure on the Strait of Hormuz generated a rise in oil prices, directly impacting international markets and affecting the cost of basic goods
