President Trump said Monday evening that Iran failed to behave properly after oil prices dropped briefly, forcing him to resume military action, but that Tehran is now 'behaving properly' again. The remarks come amid ongoing US-Iran negotiations and the aftermath of strikes.
President Trump's latest comments on the Iran situation, delivered Monday evening, frame the military action as a response to Iranian non-compliance after a brief drop in oil prices. The statement appears to reference the US blockade and the subsequent strikes. Trump has been in close contact with Prime Minister Netanyahu, as The Zioneer reported on June 11. The US-Iran nuclear deal is reportedly in its 'almost final stage,' though Israeli officials remain skeptical. The current state of negotiations remains unclear, with the Trump administration maintaining a 100% blockade on Iranian oil.
