“Iran is very ​much ‌intent, they want very much to make a deal. ‌So far they ​haven’t gotten there … we’re ⁠not satisfied with it, but we will ‌be. We will be either that or we’ll have to just finish ‌the job,” Mr. Trump ​told reporters at a cabinet ⁠meeting at the White ⁠House.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Iran with more bombing on Wednesday (May 6, 2026) if it doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz after a report that an agreement is emerging to end war.

Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social platform that the war with Iran could soon end and oil, and natural gas shipments could restart. But that all depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that the U.S. President did not detail.

“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before,” Mr. Trump said.

He said it was “perhaps a big assumption” that Iran would agree to the terms being offered by the United States.

A ceasefire deal to pause the war in Iran appeared to hang by a thread on Wednesday (April 8, 2026) after the Islamic Republic closed the Strait of Hormuz again in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon.

The White House demanded that the channel be reopened and sought to keep peace talks on track.

The U.S. and Iran both claimed victory after reaching the agreement, and world leaders expressed relief, even as more drones and missiles hit Iran and Gulf Arab countries.
