🚨 TRUMP: STRIKES ON IRAN “COULD HAPPEN CERTAINLY”
President Trump says renewed U.S. military strikes on Iran remain a real possibility.
“If they misbehave… if they do something bad.”
He also defended the ongoing naval blockade, calling it “very friendly” because no one is challenging it.
Translation:
The pressure stays on.
The blockade stays in place.
And the military option is still very much on the table.
According to Tasnim News Agency, Iran’s demands remain: end the naval blockade, guarantees against military action, removal of U.S. forces from its periphery, release of frozen assets, reparations, full sanctions relief, and a halt to fighting across all fronts including Lebanon, plus a new mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran also claims the U.S. proposed a 2 month ceasefire, but insists on resolving everything within 30 days, aiming for a full end to the war rather than extending any temporary truce.
