President Donald Trump said the United States is engaged in ongoing discussions aimed at ending military operations in Iran, suggesting that talks are being held with what he described as a “new and more reasonable” leadership. He indicated that progress has been made toward a potential agreement, raising the possibility of a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
At the same time, Trump warned that military action could continue if negotiations do not produce results. He stated that if a deal is not reached soon—and if key conditions are not met—the United States could escalate its response. Among those conditions, he emphasized the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open to global commerce, describing it as essential for international trade and energy markets.
Trump outlined potential consequences if those expectations are not fulfilled, including the possibility of targeting major infrastructure such as energy facilities. He said certain sites, including electric power systems and oil-related assets, had not yet been struck but could become targets under specific circumstances. His remarks framed these options as part of a broader effort to apply pressure during negotiations.
The comments also referenced long-standing tensions between the United States and Iran, with Trump pointing to past conflicts and security concerns. While emphasizing that discussions are ongoing, he signaled that both diplomatic and military paths remain under consideration as the situation continues to evolve.

The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business; we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.” This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.
