President Donald Trump said late Monday that as long as Iran respects the US, there will be no trouble, adding he avoids using the word 'afraid.' The remark, reported by Israeli media, follows a string of Trump statements on the emerging Iran framework this month, including an earlier comment that the war with Iran is concluded.
President Donald Trump addressed the ceasefire with Iran late Monday, saying: "As long as they respect us — and I don't want to use the word 'afraid,' which is an inappropriate word — there will be no problems." The remark was reported by Israeli media channels.
This is the latest in a series of Trump pronouncements on the Iran deal framework this month. As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday (00:07 Jerusalem), Trump said the same night that if Iran does not respect the US, he will do what he must, and addressed the Lebanon front and sanctions relief. Earlier that same day, in a statement reported Thursday evening, Trump expressed satisfaction with the deal, asserting Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.
Trump's latest comment repeats his core condition — Iranian respect for the US — without introducing new policy or timelines. The remark does not specify whether it refers to the ongoing ceasefire arrangements or to a final agreement.
