Donald Trump escalates stance towards Iran and Cuba: "Unconditional surrender or nothing"

President Donald Trump has radicalized the United States' position towards its main adversaries, issuing an ultimatum to Iran that excludes any diplomatic concessions. During a series of speeches and interviews, including for CNN, the American leader repeatedly emphasized that the time for negotiations is over, and the only acceptable solution is the complete surrender of the Tehran regime. Trump introduced a new political slogan MIGA ("Make Iran Great Again"), which in his rhetoric signifies the necessity for a fundamental systemic change in that country. Simultaneously, the US president directed public attention to Havana, predicting the imminent collapse of its authorities. The words that Cuba "will fall quite soon" came at a moment when the world's attention is focused on the Middle East, suggesting an attempt to simultaneously strike at Tehran's allies in the Western Hemisphere. In the symbolic sphere, the White House placed strong emphasis on the religious dimension of the ongoing military actions. A collective prayer was held in the Oval Office with the president and religious leaders, during which divine protection for American soldiers was sought. These scenes, widely commented on by European media such as BFMTV or Le Parisien, reinforce the image of Trump as a leader conducting a mission of an almost messianic character. In the context of building an international coalition, a significant signal was the declaration directed at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump stated that in the confrontation with Iran, he "would accept any help," indicating a drive to create a broad front of states engaged in global conflicts under Washington's aegis. The concept of unconditional surrender, which Donald Trump refers to, became the foundation of the world order after 1945, when the Allies imposed it on the Third Reich and Japan, completely excluding the possibility of negotiations with the totalitarian systems of that time. Despite the extremely tense geopolitical situation, the Trump administration has become embroiled in an unusual legal dispute with a Japanese entertainment industry giant. The Pokémon Company issued an official cease-and-desist demand after the White House published a meme on social media featuring an image of Pikachu wearing a characteristic red hat with the MAGA slogan. This incident, though seemingly secondary in the face of the threat of total war, illustrates the specific communication style of the current governing team, which systematically blurs the lines between pop culture and hard state politics. Experts point out that such actions aim to mobilize the youngest electorate, even at the cost of copyright conflicts with global corporations.
