“Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's military objections shortly. Very shortly. 
We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong," Trump said.

What ultimatum did Trump give?

While talking about regime change, the US President said that, "we never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leader's death."

"In the meantime, discussions are ongoing. Regime change was not our goal. We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders' death. They're all dead. The new group is less radical and much more reasonable," Trump said.

In his speech, Donald Trump also gave an   ultimatum to Iran, saying, "Yet, if during this period of time, no deal is made... if there is no deal, we are going to hit each, and every one of their electric generating plants very hard, and probably simultaneously."
