Trump On Iran Peace Agreement: ‘If it doesn't get done in 60 days... We go back to bombing’ https://dailytorch.com/2026/06/trump-on-iran-peace-agreement-if-it-doesnt-get-done-in-60-days-we-go-back-to-bombing/
“[I]t's a memorandum of understanding. If it doesn't get done in 60 days, it's all right. We go back to bombing. You know, I don't want to do that because it's so good. But uh we might have to because we're never going to let them have a nuclear weapon. But they've agreed not to and you'll see that very clearly in the agreement.” That was President Donald Trump at a press conference at the G7 meeting in Evian, France, describing the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran to end the war that began on Feb. 28, saying that Iran has agreed not to have a nuclear weapon but that if a final agreement is not reached including to retrieve Iran’s already enriched uranium buried under mountains within the 60-day extension of the current ceasefire, the war will resume. President Trump explained, “On Sunday, we reached an agreement with Iran that achieves everything we set out to accomplish, everything and much more. Ending the current conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. That's what it was all about. That was… 99 percent Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They can't develop it, buy it. They can never have a nuclear weapon.” Now, the U.S. naval blockade is over and the Strait of Hormuz is open again, with ships now transiting again as the freedom of the seas is restored. Oil prices have eased about 33 percent since April, with WTI crude now about $76.60 a barrel as of this writing, down from a peak of over $114 a barrel. So, the ceasefire is holding with the agreement now signed by both sides. And now the details of removing the already enriched uranium can proceed in earnest: “But then the second phase of that was uh they were building or they were enriching material as they say. I call it nuclear dust. They were enriching material under granite mountains… Technical discussions on the removal of all stockpiles of enriched materials will begin immediately. We're going to start that immediately.” The President said the ceasefire extension and continued talks were necessary to get the global economy moving again, and the alternative, Trump said, noting the consequences of the war continuing indefinitely, could have been a worldwide depression as global energy production shut down. As it is, we’re no worse off than we were when the ceasefire was initially announced in April, except this time, it’s holding and the Strait of Hormuz is open again. So, in order to get the sanctions lifted, the nuclear issue must be settled. And if not, the President said, the war will begin again. It’s that simple. Nobody should doubt him. In 2024, the American people trusted him to return to the Oval Office and if necessary, to prosecute the war and to end it one way or another — on his terms. What do you think?
