Trump says Iran will be bombed ‘at much higher level’ if they don’t agree peace deal

  • President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum on Wednesday, warning Iran that rejecting a proposed peace deal will trigger renewed bombing at a "much higher level and intensity." He indicated this action would replace the current military campaign if Tehran refuses to comply.
  • Since the February 28 start of the war between Iran and the United States and Israel, Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz. This blockade prompted the U.S. to launch "Operation Epic Fury," a military campaign aimed at relieving shipping bottlenecks and countering regional aggression.
  • Amid reported progress on a one-page memorandum of understanding, President Trump paused "Project Freedom" on Tuesday. The U.S. military operation escorted commercial vessels through the strait but was halted following requests from Pakistan and other countries to allow time for finalizing the potential peace agreement.
  • While Iranian officials are reviewing the U.S. proposal via Pakistan, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf dismissed the terms as a "wish list." Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing to discuss negotiations and the ongoing naval blockade.
  • If a deal is finalized, it would initiate a 30-day period of negotiations regarding nuclear enrichment and sanctions. Despite the diplomatic overtures, the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports remains in force, keeping global markets on edge as the administration maintains pressure for compliance.
