U.S. President Donald Trump says he will “do what I have to do” if Iran does not stick to an interim agreement with the United States. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump said that if Iran does not “live up to” the terms of the deal or is “not behaving,” the U.S. will take unspecified action. The comments are reported across outlets as a warning tied directly to Iran’s compliance.
Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed the interim U.S.-Iran deal last week, according to the reporting. The agreement is described as arriving more than three months after a cycle of attacks in the region involving the United States and Israel, and subsequent retaliatory actions by Iran. Multiple sources also reference Iran’s attacks on Israel and Gulf states where U.S. bases are located as part of the broader context leading up to the interim deal.
While the statements underscore a conditional U.S. response based on Iran’s performance under the agreement, none of the sources provide specific details on what actions Trump would take or how compliance would be determined.
