Trump says Iran will ‘pay the price’ and claims they have ‘taken too long’ to agree to a deal

Trump said Iran has taken too long to negotiate a deal as U.S. and Iranian strikes again strained a ceasefire, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump warned Iran will "pay the price" for stalled peace negotiations, following U.S. airstrikes on air defense sites and retaliatory Iranian strikes against Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait.
  • At the center of the conflict is Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a U.S. Naval blockade intended to cut Iranian oil revenue as the ongoing war has rattled global markets since Feb.
  • Brent crude oil traded above $91 a barrel on Wednesday, up more than 25% since the conflict began, while Trump claimed on Truth Social the U.S. blockade is the "most successful in the history of Naval warfare."
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the U.S. attacks as a sovereignty violation during calls with Turkey and Saudi Arabia, while Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Wednesday that Tehran would review its negotiation position.
  • President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House Wednesday the U.S. will attack Iran "very hard, resuming bombing," if no peace deal is finalized, as the conflict threatens to derail diplomatic efforts.
