U.S. President Donald Trump has once again warned Iran that it could face further military action, saying the United States is prepared to carry out even stronger strikes if necessary.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said Iran would have to “pay the price” for delaying efforts to reach an agreement with Washington.
“We will strike them. We will strike them very hard,” Trump said.
When asked whether the United States could launch additional bombing raids, Trump suggested that Washington believed it had the right to respond, citing Iran’s alleged involvement in the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
The remarks come after recent U.S. airstrikes against Iranian targets. In response, Iran reportedly launched attacks toward U.S. military facilities in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, although those countries said the incoming threats were intercepted.
Trump also referred to ongoing diplomatic efforts, reportedly involving Pakistani mediation, aimed at securing a new agreement between the United States and Iran. He said Washington is seeking a “meaningful” and “successful” deal and urged Iranian leaders to sign it.
“They should sign the agreement. It’s a good agreement,” Trump said.
According to Trump, the proposal currently on the table would permanently prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
“We want a meaningful agreement. We want an agreement that works,” he said.
Trump added that while negotiations remain possible, the United States is prepared to continue military action.
“We struck very hard yesterday, and we’ll strike very hard today as well. We’ll see what happens with the agreement. We came very close to a deal, but they kept dragging us along and acting as though we were fools.”
