US President Donald Trump on Thursday said American military forces would remain deployed in and around Iran until a final agreement on the ceasefire is fully implemented, signalling Washington’s intent to maintain pressure amid fragile truce conditions in West Asia.”All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.He warned that any violation of the understanding could trigger a sharp military response. “If for any reason it is not [complied with], which is highly unlikely, then the ‘shooting starts’ — bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before,” he said.Reiterating key US objectives, Trump stressed that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons and that the Strait of Hormuz would remain “open and safe”, underscoring the strategic importance of the vital global oil transit route.The remarks come amid a tenuous ceasefire between the United States and Iran, with tensions persisting despite a temporary halt in hostilities and conflicting claims over the scope of the truce across the region.Trump said US forces were “loading up and resting” even as they remained prepared for further action if required, projecting confidence in both the military’s readiness and the broader geopolitical outcome.His assertion signals a hardline stance from Washington as diplomatic efforts continue to secure a durable agreement, with the coming days seen as critical in determining whether the ceasefire holds or slips back into escalation.
