The White House stated that "unconditional surrender" of Tehran means that the US president himself will decide when Iran no longer poses a threat.

US President Donald Trump on Friday, March 6, officially rejected the possibility of any diplomatic arrangements with Tehran. Instead of negotiations, he announced a course toward the complete capitulation of Iran's authorities. The American leader explained the radical ultimatum as a desire to save Iran from collapse. According to his plan, the US and allies will rebuild the Iranian economy under the slogan "Make Iran Great Again" only after a regime change and the election of new leaders.
