US EditionTrump says US military to stay around Iran until Tehran complies with deal
Trump said U.S. ships, aircraft and troops will stay deployed as negotiators seek a deal that keeps the Strait of Hormuz open and blocks any nuclear path.
- President Donald Trump ordered U.S. naval, air, and ground forces to remain deployed around Iran, describing the posture as "armed monitoring" and warning of a "bigger, and better, and stronger" response if the ceasefire is breached.
- This posture follows a fragile two-week ceasefire brokered through Pakistan on April 8, under which Iran agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary halt in U.S. attacks.
- Tensions surged Wednesday after Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed at least 182 people, prompting Iranian officials to label planned peace negotiations "unreasonable" due to disputes over the truce terms.
- Maritime intelligence firm Windward reported only 11 vessels moved through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, as semiofficial Iranian agencies reported the Revolutionary Guard placed sea mines in the traffic zone.
- Diplomats are preparing for talks in Islamabad to verify compliance, though experts caution that translating military objectives into a lasting resolution requires sustained negotiation beyond the two-week window.
