Trump to Iran: "Behave, Be Good" for Deal, Sanctions Relief Later
President Trump lays out tough conditions for Iran: a peace deal must come first before any sanctions relief or asset unfreezing. He warns of consequences after 100 days of conflict.
US President Donald Trump has issued a stern message to Iran, making it clear that any sanctions relief or unfreezing of assets will only come after a comprehensive peace deal is signed. Emphasizing a "behave, be good" approach, the President indicated that future concessions from the United States are entirely contingent on Tehran's conduct.
The President's remarks underscored a firm stance, particularly noting the ongoing tensions that have pushed the Middle East region to the brink. With the conflict now marking its 100th day without a permanent resolution, Trump stressed that Iran must face consequences for what he described as decades of perceived impunity. He also clarified that Lebanon would be excluded from any short-term agreements with Iran.
Notably, President Trump also boasted about securing a commitment from Iranian leaders regarding their nuclear program, stating they would not develop a nuclear weapon. However, this assertion has puzzled nuclear experts, who point out that Tehran has made such pledges for over 50 years, suggesting the commitment isn't a new development. The pronouncement comes amidst a volatile period marked by US strikes on Iranian targets and retaliatory actions from Tehran, keeping the global community on edge.
