US President Donald Trump has stated that he will “hit very hard” against Iran if the country’s president does not surrender. The comments came after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said he would not surrender to US demands.

In a series of live updates, CNN reported that Trump signaled his intention to escalate the war with Iran as Tehran apologized to its neighbors for strikes. WSJ also reported that Trump wants “unconditional surrender” from Iran as attacks continue.

Iran’s unconditional apology was seen as an attempt to calm tensions with neighboring countries. Al Jazeera reported on the ongoing situation in Iran, where protests and demonstrations have been taking place since the US drone strike that killed top Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani.

According to Axios, Trump has made three pledges regarding Iran: to hit hard, to make a deal, and to bring back American troops. The exact details of these pledges are not clear.

The situation in Iran remains volatile, with ongoing protests and demonstrations. The US and Iran have been engaged in a diplomatic standoff since the US drone strike that killed Soleimani.
