Trump gives Iran ultimatum as supreme leader reportedly unconscious

On 7 April 2026, during the war between the US and Iran, Trump gave Iran an ultimatum. German outlets wrote that Trump needs a deal, and Die Presse quoted a view that losing face is of no concern to him. Spanish-language outlets asked how Iran would respond and what strike capacity it has, citing an international expert.

Also on that day, a report said Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is unconscious and being treated in Qom, and unable to make decisions or run the country. Spanish-language outlets attributed the report to The Times, and the Times of Israel described his condition as “severe.”
