Trump suggests war could come to an end if Iran agrees to proposal

US President Donald Trump has said in a new post on Truth Social, that the war could end if Iran agrees to a deal.

“Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary [Operation] Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be open to all, including Iran,” Trump writes.

He also warns that if Iran does not agree to fulfil its end of an agreement with Washington, “the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.”
