Washington: US President Donald Trump has warned that American military action against Iran may not be over, while ruling out immediate talks with Tehran and claiming that Iran.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said Iran was under severe pressure following the latest confrontation and suggested that the country was struggling to maintain its military operations.
“They’re not paying their troops.
Trump also cautioned that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz should not be viewed as a sign that the possibility of further US military action had disappeared.
The president did not provide specific details about whether another operation was being considered or explain what circumstances could lead Washington to launch further military action against Iran.
His comments are likely to keep uncertainty high across the region, particularly for countries and businesses that depend on the Strait of Hormuz for the movement of oil and other energy supplies.
The waterway is one of the world’s most important energy routes, and concerns over its security can quickly affect shipping, fuel markets and regional stability.
Trump also dismissed the possibility of immediate diplomatic discussions with Tehran, indicating that Washington was not currently looking to sit down with Iranian officials.
The remarks suggest that the Trump administration intends to maintain pressure on Iran even after the strategic waterway reopened. Rather than declaring the crisis finished, Trump appeared to leave the door open for additional military or economic measures.
The president has repeatedly relied on a combination of military pressure, economic sanctions and warnings of further action in dealing with Iran. His latest statements again indicated that Washington wants to retain flexibility while assessing Tehran’s next moves.
Trump was also asked about Russia’s relationship with Iran and whether Moscow could face consequences if it failed to reduce its ties with Tehran.
He did not explain what specific actions Russia had taken that Washington considered positive. He also did not say whether Moscow had made any commitments concerning its relationship with Tehran.
The comments come as governments and businesses continue to watch developments around the Strait of Hormuz closely. Any renewed military confrontation could affect commercial shipping and the movement of energy supplies through the region.
For ordinary people, instability around the waterway can eventually translate into higher fuel and transportation costs if disruptions affect global energy markets. For governments, the situation presents a delicate challenge: maintaining security while avoiding another escalation that could spread across the wider Middle East.
Trump’s decision not to announce an end to military pressure means uncertainty remains. At the same time, his refusal to pursue immediate talks with Iran suggests diplomacy is not currently the administration’s preferred path.
The president also did not outline specific conditions that would persuade the United States to meet Iranian officials. As a result, the next steps will depend heavily on developments on the ground, Iran’s response and the broader regional security situation.
