Trump says damage to Iran's nuclear sites is 'far below ground level'

Amid President Trump's demands for an unconditional surrender and claims that Iran has asked the U.S. to continue negotiations on the unfinished nuclear deal between the two countries, the Permanent Mission of Iran to the United Nations said "no Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House," in a post on X.

"The only thing more despicable than [Trump's] lies is his cowardly threat to 'take out' Iran’s Supreme Leader," the mission said.

"Iran does NOT negotiate under duress, shall NOT accept peace under duress, and certainly NOT with a has-been warmonger clinging to relevance. Iran shall respond to any threat with a counter-threat, and to any action with reciprocal measures," the mission added in the post.

The Israel Defense Forces relaxed some of the restrictions across most of Israel, but educational facilities remain closed.

Israelis can now return to their work offices, provided there is an accessible bomb shelter or safe room for employees. They can also gather up to 30 people, indoors or outdoors, the IDF said.

These relaxed rules do not apply to communities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon, the Gaza border communities and some parts of Southern Israel.

When asked if he gave Iran an ultimatum, President Donald Trump said he gave Iran the "ultimate ultimatum," but he would not share what the ultimatum was.

Trump also said he spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, who again offered to mediate between Israel and Iran.

"I said, 'Do me a favor. Mediate your own. Let's mediate Russia first. Okay?'" Trump said Wednesday.

Trump also said that "war is very complex" and "nothing is finished until it's finished."

"I would say that we sure as hell made a lot of progress, and we'll see the next week is going to be very big," Trump said.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday, President Donald Trump did not answer a question on whether he would strike Iran, signaling he has not yet decided.

"You don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know; I may do it. I may not do it. Nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate," Trump told reporters at the White House Wednesday.

"And I said, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn't you negotiate?' I said to people, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago, you could have done fine. You would have had a country.' It's very sad to watch this," Trump said.
