Could Iran War End March 12? Trump's 'Unconditional Surrender' Demand Echoes Past Ceasefire

• Donald Trump demands Iran's "unconditional surrender," echoing a June 2025 call that led to a ceasefire six days later.
• Speculation arises that a ceasefire in the current conflict could be announced by March 12, following the previous pattern.
• The current conflict is more widespread, affecting over a dozen countries, disrupting energy, and causing a leadership vacuum in Tehran after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death.
• Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian maintains a defiant stance, while previous mediator Qatar faces its own crisis after a drone strike.
• Critics like Samuel Abosi view Trump's demand as "political theater," suggesting it may not lead to compliance.
