Pressure rises on Iran, Hamas
Bangkok Post
|December 31, 2025
US President Donald Trump warned Iran of fresh strikes and said Hamas would have “hell to pay” if it fails to disarm in Gaza, as he presented a united front with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

Speaking at a news conference with Mr Netanyahu in Florida, Mr Trump threatened to “eradicate” any attempt by Tehran to rebuild its nuclear programme or ballistic missile arsenal following US and Israeli strikes earlier this year.
Mr Trump also downplayed reports of tensions with Mr Netanyahu over the second stage of the fragile Gaza ceasefire, saying that Israel had “lived up” to its commitments and that the onus was on Palestinian militant group Hamas.
“If they don’t disarm as they agreed to do, then there will be hell to pay for them,” Mr Trump told reporters at his lavish Mara-Lago resort. “They have to disarm in a fairly short period of time.”
Hamas's armed wing reiterated earlier on Monday that it would not surrender its weapons.
