US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, stating that the ongoing military campaign known as “Operation Epic Fury” could come to an end—but only if Tehran agrees to current negotiation terms.
In a strong statement, Trump said that compliance from Iran would not only end the military operation but also lead to the reopening of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.
“Assuming Iran agrees… the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be open to all,” Trump said.
However, the U.S. President made it clear that failure to reach an agreement would trigger a significant escalation.
“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.”
The warning comes amid ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran, with global powers closely monitoring the situation due to its potential impact on energy markets and regional stability.
Recent developments suggest that the U.S. has paused certain military initiatives to allow space for diplomacy, while still maintaining pressure on Tehran.
The Strait of Hormuz remains central to the conflict, as disruptions in the waterway have already affected global shipping and oil supplies, raising concerns across international markets.
As negotiations continue, the situation remains volatile, with the possibility of either a diplomatic breakthrough or a sharp military escalation in the coming days.
