US President Donald Trump said late Wednesday that all American ships, aircraft, weapons and military personnel would remain “in place, in and around Iran” until a comprehensive agreement is reached.
In a post on Truth Social, he warned that if the deal fails, which he described as “highly unlikely,” the response would be unprecedented. “ If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the “Shootin’ Starts,” bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before,” he wrote.
Trump reiterated that Iran must have “no nuclear weapons” and that the Strait of Hormuz “will be open and safe”.
He added that US-Iran negotiations are scheduled to take place in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Saturday.
Concluding his post, Trump said the US military is “loading up and resting”, adding that it is “looking forward” to its next move, declaring: “America is back.”
