WASHINGTON (Dunya News) - US President Donald Trump posted an image of Iran overlaid with the American flag on Truth Social. The image shared on Truth Social referred to a “United State of Middle East,” with a question mark also placed alongside the phrase in the post.
Meanwhile, Iran has escalated its rhetoric towards the United States, with senior officials declaring that US President Donald Trump has little room to manoeuvre unless Washington accepts Tehran’s demands and recognises what Iranian leaders describe as the country’s legitimate rights.
The latest remarks came from Iranian Defence Ministry spokesman Reza Talaei-Nik, who warned that any failure by Washington to comply with Iran’s demands would result in further setbacks for the United States and its leadership.

Speaking to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, Talaei-Nik said the US and its allies had reached a decisive stage both on the battlefield and in diplomatic efforts.
“The only way out of the third imposed war for the American-Zionist enemy, on both the battlefield and in diplomacy, is to secure the demands of the Iranian people,” he said.
He further argued that Washington’s position had become increasingly difficult, saying Trump should avoid exposing Americans and the wider international community to additional losses linked to continued conflict.
“While accepting Iran’s proposal, Trump should also be mindful of preventing further losses and costs in the continuation of the war for the American people and the international community,” Talaei-Nik added.
