In March 2026, amidst a growing regional conflict, former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the only acceptable resolution with Iran is its "unconditional surrender." This declaration rejects compromise despite Iranian confirmation of diplomatic mediation efforts to end the war. The conflict, involving Iranian attacks across the Gulf, a war between Hezbollah and Israel, and missile and drone strikes on U.S. interests, has led to mass displacement and soaring oil prices. Iranian officials have expressed readiness for a prolonged conflict, while President Pezeshkian has stated that Iran is committed to peace but prepared to defend itself. Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that the U.S. plan for a rapid military victory failed.
