Trump Issues Ultimatum to Iran’s Axis Release Hostages or Face Retaliation

President-elect Donald Trump sent a clear and chilling warning to Hamas and its Iranian backers. release the hostages before Inauguration Day, or face devastating consequences.

Speaking at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump addressed the October 7 terrorist attack in which Hamas kidnapped innocent civilians, including Americans. When asked about the hostage situation, Trump didn’t mince words:

“If those hostages aren’t back… if they’re not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East.”

Trump made it clear that his administration will not tolerate continued aggression from Hamas or its sponsor, Iran, which has been funding and arming the terrorist group for years.

“It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone.”

His warning was a direct shot at Iran, which has ramped up its terrorist activities including attempts to assassinate Trump himself.

The contrast between Trump’s leadership and the weak, failed policies of Joe Biden could not be more stark. Under Biden, Iran’s proxies have grown bolder, launching attacks across the region while American hostages remain in captivity.

During his first term, Trump crushed Iran’s terror network, eliminating Qassem Soleimani, enforcing maximum pressure sanctions, and securing historic peace agreements in the Middle East. Now, as he prepares to take office once again, terrorists and rogue states know what’s coming.

• Hamas must release all hostages immediately.

• Iran will face severe consequences if it continues to back terror.

• The Middle East will no longer be a free-for-all under a weak U.S. president.

With Inauguration Day approaching, the world is watching. Hamas and Iran now have a choice: return the hostages, or prepare for what comes next. Trump’s message is clear America will not be weak under his leadership.
