Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:17:38 +0530

US President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran, saying Washington will respond if Tehran fails to honour any future nuclear agreement reached during ongoing diplomatic efforts. Speaking after the latest round of talks in Switzerland, Trump said there would be "no trouble" as long as Iran respected the agreement and the United States. However, he made it clear that if Tehran failed to live up to its commitments, the US would "do what it has to do," keeping the possibility of military action firmly on the table. Trump also defended his broader Iran strategy, arguing that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is more important than concerns over potential economic fallout. He stated that the consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran would be far more severe than any short-term economic disruption.

He added that he believed such a move would not be accepted by the American public.
