WorldIran deal deadline expires as Trump demands ‘white flag’ and new pressure looms

President Donald Trump demanded that Tehran raise a “white flag of surrender,” while confirming a direct backchannel with Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned of unprecedented economic measures. Experts say collapsing oil revenue, inflation and the blockade are straining Iran, but the key test is whether pressure reaches IRGC-linked elite networks that have historically been insulated from economic turmoil.
