U.S. President Donald Trump issued another strong warning to Iran via social media on 9 April 2026, stating that all U.S. warships, aircraft, personnel, and additional ammunition and weapons will remain deployed in and around Iran until what he calls a "real agreement" is fully complied with. He warned that if the agreement is not implemented, military action will resume, and on a scale "larger, better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen."
With the two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran teetering on the brink of collapse, Trump emphasized in a Truth Social post that U.S. troops will continue to be "stationed" in Iran until the "real agreement" is upheld. He stated, "If for any reason it is not done, although the likelihood is extremely low, then 'the guns will be fired,' and on a scale larger, better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen."
He also stated in the post that the U.S. and Iran have already reached an agreement on two core principles: "no nuclear weapons" and "the Strait of Hormuz will remain open and secure," despite various contradictory and false claims. Trump also stated that U.S. troops are currently "resting and replenishing," ending his post with "AMERICA IS BACK!"
The Associated Press points out that Trump's post at this time is clearly intended to put pressure on Iran through a tough stance, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the two-week ceasefire in the current war. Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz has also come to a standstill, with no ships currently moving through the waterway.
