Trump threatens new strikes on Iran if no deal is reached

US President Donald Trump has issued a new warning to Iran, saying the United States will launch fresh military strikes if Tehran refuses to reach an agreement with Washington.

US President Donald Trump has issued a new warning to Iran, saying the United States will launch fresh military strikes if Tehran refuses to reach an agreement with Washington.

Speaking about the ongoing conflict, Trump said US officials held talks with Iranian representatives on Tuesday and urged them to accept a deal aimed at ending hostilities. He stressed that diplomacy remains an option but warned that military action would continue if negotiations fail.

Trump said that if Iran refuses to sign an agreement or declines to continue negotiations, the United States will target key infrastructure across the country next week. He specifically mentioned power plants and bridges, saying they would become military targets if no progress is made.

The US president declared that military operations against Iran would continue until he personally decides they should end. He added that American forces are maintaining pressure on Iran and are prepared to intensify the campaign if necessary.

Trump claimed that Iran’s military strength has been severely weakened by recent attacks. According to him, Iran still possesses some ability to fight, but its remaining military capability is limited compared with earlier stages of the conflict.

His latest remarks signal that Washington is prepared to increase military pressure while continuing diplomatic efforts. The warning comes at a time when tensions between the United States and Iran remain extremely high following weeks of military exchanges and international efforts to prevent a wider regional conflict.

The president also referred to recent discussions between US and Iranian officials, saying the United States continues to encourage Tehran to choose diplomacy over confrontation. However, he made clear that failure to reach an agreement would lead to additional military operations targeting strategic infrastructure.

Trump’s comments follow another policy shift regarding the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes. Earlier, he had proposed imposing a 20 percent toll tax on vessels using the waterway. However, less than 24 hours later, he withdrew the proposal.

The US president said he no longer supported the idea of charging tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as a proposal he did not favor. His reversal came shortly after the suggestion drew international attention because of the waterway’s importance to global energy supplies and international trade.
