Trump Warns Iran: Reach a Deal or ‘We’ll Have to Just Finish the Job’
US President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday, May 27, that he remains dissatisfied with the current state of the peace talks aimed at ending the war with Iran, signaling that Washington’s patience has limits. Speaking during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump said Tehran is eager for an agreement but has not yet met America’s terms. “They want very much to make a deal. So far, they haven’t gotten there,” he said. “We’re not satisfied with it, but we will be. We will be either that, or we’ll have to just finish the job.”
Trump suggested the Iranian regime had miscalculated by trying to use the upcoming November midterm elections as leverage, wrongly assuming his administration would soften to avoid political fallout. “I don’t care about the midterms,” he asserted, adding bluntly that “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” Though he voiced frustration, he noted the discussions were technically progressing well and that the regime was “starting to give us the things that they have to give us.” He paired the assessment with a stark warning of military action should compliance stall, gesturing to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and stating that “the man on my left is going to finish them off.”
The remarks landed amid conflicting signals over a possible breakthrough. Iranian state media claimed the two nations had drafted a six-point framework under which the US Navy would lift its maritime blockade on Iranian ports near the Strait of Hormuz, a claim the White House dismissed as a complete fabrication. “Nobody should believe what Iranian state media is putting out,” the administration posted, adding, “FACTS MATTER.” Trump has insisted that any final agreement must include the supervised, total destruction of the regime’s enriched uranium and that Iran will receive no sanctions relief in exchange.

Dear Lord, we lift up the State of Israel and all who stand against the spread of nuclear weapons, asking that You grant wisdom and courage to the leaders pursuing a just and lasting resolution, that You frustrate every scheme of those who seek to harm Your people, that You bring the threats of the Iranian regime to nothing, and that You establish true peace and security throughout the region. In Yeshua’s Name we pray.
