Trump says U.S. could restart Iran strikes ‘if they misbehave’

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday (May 2, 2026) he had been told about the concept of a deal with Iran, but was waiting ‌for the exact wording, while warning there was still the possibility of restarting strikes on the country if ​Tehran misbehaves. A senior Iranian official said on Saturday (May 2, 2026) that an Iranian proposal so far rejected by Mr. Trump ⁠would open shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. blockade of Iran while leaving talks on Iran’s nuclear program for later.

When asked about Iran’s proposal before boarding a flight to Miami at West Palm Beach, Florida, Mr. Trump replied: “They told me about the concept of the ‌deal. They’re going to give me the exact wording now.”
