The Iranians are already working vigorously. They are strengthening their defenses and military capabilities every day. Work on the nuclear sites has resumed. It is not for nothing that leading countries have brought back the 'snapback' - the sanctions mechanism on the Iranian regime.

It seems that this time the Iranians are trying to surprise us.

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Hamas has been a ruthless and violent threat, for many years, in the Middle East! They have killed (and made lives unbearably miserable), culminating with the October 7th MASSACRE, in Israel, babies, woman, children, old people, and many young men and women, boys and girls, getting ready to celebrate their future lives together. As retribution for the October 7th attack on civilization, more than 25,000 Hamas “soldiers” have already been killed. Most of the rest are surrounded and MILITARILY TRAPPED [in Gaza City], just waiting for me to give the word, “GO,” for their lives to be quickly extinguished. As for the rest, we know where and who you are, and you will be hunted down, and killed.

I am asking that all innocent Palestinians immediately leave this area [Gaza City] of potentially great future death for safer parts of Gaza. Everyone will be well cared for by those that are waiting to help.

Fortunately for Hamas, however, they will be given one last chance! Great, powerful, and very rich Nations of the Middle East, and the surrounding areas beyond, together with the United States of America, have agreed, with Israel signing on, to PEACE, after 3000 years, in the Middle East. THIS DEAL ALSO SPARES THE LIVES OF ALL REMAINING HAMAS FIGHTERS! The details of the document are known to the WORLD, and it is a great one for ALL! We will have PEACE in the Middle East one way or the other. The violence and bloodshed will stop. RELEASES THE HOSTAGES, ALL OF THEM, INCLUDING THE BODIES OF THOSE THAT ARE DEAD, NOW!

An Agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday Evening at SIX (6) P.M., Washington, D.C. time. Every Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas.

THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP," - President Donald Trump.
