In a post on X, Mohammadi, who is adviser to Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned that if Trump doesn’t surrender in 20 hours, then Tehran would send America’s allies in the region to “stone age”. “Iran has clearly and overtly won the war and will only accept an ending that consolidates its gains and creates a new security regime in the region,” Mohammadi wrote.
