‘If they don’t behave, we’ll go back to shooting at them’: Trump threatens Iran

Aljazeera ^ | June 17, 2026

[McGruff]

Asked if the agreement is “final”, Trump replies, “No, it’s not final.”

He added: “It’s a memorandum of understanding. And if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head.”

“If I don’t like it, if they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head.”

BS, THIS is why I voted for TRUMP.

No other POTUS would say this. No other politician would say this.

Trump says it the way it is.

[Kleon]

Imagine Iran’s terror...

[wny]

I voted flor action Trump. Not talk Trump.

[Timber Rattler]

Trump says it but doesn’t mean it.

[McGruff]

I voted for this guy.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

And it doesn’t matter if he does mean it. The mullahs have already demonstrated that they are not intimidated by the bombing.

Somebody must have told Trump that a bombing campaign would bring Iran to its knees. That person gave Trump some very bad advice.

And so we are at a point where there are no easy solutions.

[mewzilla]

I’m old enough to remember the Iran hostage crisis and the fifty year forever war that resulted from that, the one that benefitted Deep States worldwide.

This isn’t just about the mullahs.

[mewzilla]

The president is a student of history.

We need more of those around here.

[GreatRoad]

Exactly.

I’m not quite sure what you mean there. Because conventional bombing alone did not bring Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan to their knees.

Don’t get me wrong. Iran needed to be defanged. But Trump promised too much. Now he’s in the unfortunate position of having to back off a bit or continue the bombing forever.

Ah, but there is a wild card. There’s a small chance that the Iranian people might rise up and overthrow the mullahs.

So, we should have let Israel nuke them and potentially started WW3 ?

Whether we want to admit it the world depends on the flow of oil. It is the most important commodity in the world from an economic perspective.

I am not in favor of sending any soldiers into the Sand box ever again. Other than to rescue our pilots.
However, do we really think that the Saudis, UAE, Jordan, Bahraine, Egypt, Kuwait are capable or controlling Iran?

Iran has been killing our people since the 1980s.
How many times are we going to let them get away with blowing up our soldiers like they did in Beruit, the US Cole, the Kobar Towers, the embassy in Kenya, the thousands of IEDs in Iraq, Syria, etc?
They have been the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world since the 1970s.

[Sacajaweau]

Iran now has....no Navy....No Airforce....holes where Missile sites once stood...damaged Nuke facilities done by our guys flying 24 hours straight at Trump's command.

I'd say that was a lot of action......and has made the world a lot safer.

[LouAvul]

Trump’s mistake was partnering w/Israel in this endeavor. They have their own agenda and we didn’t need them in the first place.

[bert]

Trump did not make a mistake. Your antisemitic view is a disgrace

[bert]

Your comparisons are irrelevant

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Setting up the “I told you so” ahead of time when some Iranian hot shot will get his wings and make goat virgins.

[butterdezillion]

They are intimidated by their own people. And we have demonstrated through the bombings, through the blockade, etc that we mean business and can destroy the whole country if the IRGC won’t give up on nukes. All of this is to convince the men of Artesh (regular army) they need to get rid of the IRGC.

I read the 14 point MOU on Zero Hedge. Wtf? Looks like Trump caved. Very disappointing. Hoping this is “part of the plan” so that they break the agreement giving the US full justification to go for regime change. Then again, it’s all a crock of $h1+.
