President Donald Trump, responding to a journalist's question about whether Iran will face consequences for violating the ceasefire, said: "You'll find out." The exchange was reported by Abu Ali Express.
President Donald Trump said Friday evening that the public will soon learn whether Iran will face consequences for violating the ceasefire, according to Abu Ali Express. The exchange was a brief one: a journalist asked, 'You said Iran violated the ceasefire. Will it face any consequences?' Trump replied, 'You'll find out.' The remark follows a pattern of Trump warning Iran over the ceasefire framework without specifying the nature of the response. As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, Trump said 'You'll see if I respond to Iran's Hormuz attack,' keeping the US response ambiguous. The White House has not elaborated on the 'consequences,' but the comment comes amid a series of Trump statements on Iran this month—from announcing an end to the ceasefire on June 10 to declaring on June 23 that as long as Iran respects the US, there will be no problems. The ambiguity leaves open the possibility of diplomatic, economic, or military measures.
