Trump: U.S. Forces to Remain Near Iran Until Ceasefire Holds
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that American military forces and equipment will remain positioned in and around Iran until the ceasefire is fully respected.
Trump warned that any breach by Tehran would trigger a stronger military response. In a social media post, he said the U.S. is prepared to act "bigger and better and stronger" if the agreement collapses.
He noted that the temporary deal is not yet fully implemented and linked its success to key U.S. demands: preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open to shipping.
U.S. ships, aircraft, personnel and additional ammunition will stay in place until the "real agreement" is fully complied with, Trump said.
The original U.S. pause on attacks was tied to Iran allowing the "complete, immediate and safe" reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
