The President made these remarks on May 2, 2026, during a press briefing where he was questioned regarding the status of a potential agreement with Iran.

"I have been briefed on the details of the agreement, and they are going to provide it to me in writing," Trump stated.

When asked whether he would consider launching attacks on Iran again, he responded that such actions could resume if the country fails to behave appropriately or engages in misconduct.

"I don't want to talk about it," he said. "What I mean is that I can't just tell a reporter, but if they behave badly or do something wrong, we could certainly attack them again without a doubt."

On the other hand, an Iranian official stated that his country has agreed to allow oil tankers to resume using the Strait of Hormuz provided that the U.S. stops its attacks.

However, Iran proposed that discussions regarding the end of nuclear weapons production be delayed—a condition that Trump has rejected.

Taking to social media, Trump declared that the U.S. cannot accept Iran's current proposals because the country has not yet "paid the full price" for its actions.

Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for the global oil trade. Now the price of a barrel of crude oil has risen by 7 per cent, exceeded $126, marking the highest peak since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022.
