US President Donald Trump sought on Wednesday to frame his vague arrangement aimed at ending a questionable war as a major win that would bring the conflict to a close, reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz and prevent Iran from “ever” obtaining a nuclear weapon.
“On Sunday, we reached an agreement with Iran that achieves everything we set out to accomplish, everything and much more,” the US president said at a press conference in France on the sidelines of the Group of 7 economies.
“When I say permanent, it should be permanent. But if it’s not permanent, they will be bombed,” he added. “I told them, if you don’t adhere to that agreement, we’re going to bomb the hell out of you.”
