Trump Issues 'Finish the Job' Ultimatum to Iran as Nuclear Deadline Looms

President Donald Trump has sharpened his rhetoric against Tehran, establishing a strictly defined five-to-seven-day window to finalize a nuclear agreement. The President stated that the United States will either "make a deal" or "finish the job," a phrase signaling a potential shift toward direct military action should negotiations fail. This ultimatum comes amid high regional tension as millions of mourners gather for the funeral of Supreme Leader Khamenei, who was killed in February. While Iran’s chief negotiator suggests a deal remains "within reach," the Iranian government has simultaneously expanded its diplomatic offensive, warning Germany that it must "pay" for its stance on the Strait of Hormuz. On the ground, the conflict continues to reshape regional power dynamics and global markets. Hamas has officially begun the process of dissolving its government in Gaza, a move reaffirmed by Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf as a pivot in support of regional armed factions. Meanwhile, the maritime security situation remains volatile following a projectile strike on a tanker east of Oman. These developments have begun to take a measurable toll on the global economy, with Shell reporting significant disruptions to gas production directly attributed to the ongoing war.
