Trump Threatens Military Action if Iran Violates US-Iran Deal

US President Donald Trump warned Iran on June 22, 2026, that he would take 'what he has to do' if Tehran failed to comply with an interim agreement. The deal was signed days earlier between Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, following months of escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran.

This condition was part of the interim agreement signed with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The deal followed a series of attacks by the US and Israel on Iran, which Iran retaliated against by targeting Israeli and Gulf states with US bases.
