President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Iran on Wednesday, signaling growing frustration with ongoing negotiations and cautioning that the United States could “finish the job” if Tehran fails to agree to acceptable terms.

During a Cabinet meeting, Trump cast doubt on reports circulating in Iranian media claiming that a major diplomatic breakthrough between Washington and Tehran was close at hand. Earlier in the day, the White House had already denied the reports outright.

“Iran is very much intent. They want very much to make a deal. So far, they haven’t gotten there,” Trump said. “We’re not satisfied with it. But we will be. Either that or we’ll have to just finish the job.”

Trump also pointed to what he described as the near destruction of Iran’s military capabilities following recent hostilities.

“Their Navy is gone, as I’ve said a thousand times. Their air force is gone. Everything’s gone, and they’re negotiating on fumes,” he said. “Maybe we have to go back and finish it.”

According to reports carried by Iranian state media, the proposed arrangement under discussion would involve Iran restoring commercial shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to prewar levels within one month. In exchange, the United States would reportedly remove military forces from areas near Iran and end its naval blockade operations.

Iranian state television claimed the framework was still incomplete and said military vessels would not be included in the Hormuz agreement. The report also stated that Iran and Oman would jointly oversee commercial maritime traffic through the strategically vital shipping lane.

Tehran reportedly insisted that it would not implement any agreement without what it described as “tangible verification” that the United States had fulfilled its obligations.

Iranian outlets further claimed that if negotiators finalize an agreement within 60 days, the deal could ultimately be codified through a binding resolution at the United Nations Security Council.

Despite the wave of reports from Tehran, the White House forcefully rejected the claims, dismissing the alleged agreement as fiction.

Officials described the Iranian account as “not true” and labeled the supposed memorandum “a complete fabrication.”
