President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that Iran would face renewed U.S. bombing “at a much higher level and intensity” if it fails to follow through on what he described as an emerging agreement to end the conflict in the Middle East.

“Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran,” Trump wrote in a May 6 post on Truth Social.
