Trump issues and delays ultimatum to Iran over conflict

President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran regarding the ongoing conflict. He later delayed that deadline, while the Iranian military publicly rejected his statements about potential negotiations.

In response, Chancellor Friedrich Merz accused Trump of a "massive escalation." Trump's former national security advisor, John Bolton, commented that the conflict is also Europe's war. Reports describe a mood of tension and defiance within Iran following the ultimatum.
