Trump: Iran war could be renewed if mullahs ‘misbehave’

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that renewed military action against Iran was a possibility if the mullahs “misbehave, if they do something bad.”

“Right now, we’ll see. It’s a possibility that could happen, certainly,” the president told reporters before departing Palm Beach, Fla.

Trump said he would be reviewing Tehran’s latest proposal for a diplomatic agreement on the plane. The Trump administration is seeking to settle the Iran issue through a deal or military action “so nobody has to go back in two years or five years,” he added.

In a subsequent post on Truth Social, Trump indicated he was set to reject the Islamic regime’s offer.

“I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to humanity, and the world, over the last 47 years,” he wrote.

A senior Iranian military officer said on Saturday that renewed conflict between Iran and the United States was “likely,” responding to Trump’s statement on Friday that he was “not satisfied” with Tehran’s proposal.

“Evidence has shown that the United States is not committed to any promises or agreements,” AFP quoted IRGC Brig. Gen. Mohammad Jafar Asadi as saying in an interview published by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Fars News Agency.

Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that the regime wants to “make a deal because they have no military left.” However, Tehran is “asking for things that I can’t agree to,” he added.

The president attributed the stalemate in negotiations to Iran’s “extremely disjointed” leadership, which was effectively decapitated during the joint U.S.-Israeli war on the Islamic Republic launched on Feb. 28.
