thebalanced.newsTrump Warns Iran of Increased Bombing if Peace Deal and Strait of Hormuz Access Are Rejected
US President Donald Trump warned Iran that if it does not accept a proposed 14-point peace deal to end the ongoing conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the US will resume bombing at a higher intensity than before. The deal, reportedly nearing finalization, aims to end Operation Epic Fury, lift sanctions, and allow free navigation through the strait. Iran is reviewing the proposal through diplomatic channels, with Pakistan acting as mediator. Trump emphasized that failure to agree would lead to intensified military action.
