Trump warns U.S. military will stay near Iran until ‘real agreement’ is honored

President Donald Trump said Wednesday U.S. military forces will remain deployed in and around Iran until Tehran fully complies with the “real agreement,” warning that any breach would trigger a military response larger than anything seen before.

“All US ships, aircraft, and military personnel…will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“If for any reason it is not…the ‘shootin’ starts,’ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before.”

Trump reiterated that it was agreed that Iran will not develop nuclear weapons, and the Strait of Hormuz will be open and safe for commercial shipping.

“In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest,” Trump added.

He ended the post, which was published near midnight, with a declaration: “AMERICA IS BACK!”

The statement came a day after Washington and Tehran agreed to a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, which halted six weeks of fighting and sparked a brief relief rally in global markets amid growing optimism that energy flows may resume in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran said safe passage through the strait would be possible but subject to coordination with its armed forces.
