YouTube (3:19-8:15) Trump warns Iran will be ‘Blown off the Face of the Earth‘ as the navy maintains Blockade
President Donald Trump confirms his willingness to attack Iran again if the talks fail. On April 8, 2026, the United States and Iran agreed on a two-week temporary ceasefire in the Iran War. This ceasefire was announced at the time by US President Donald Trump and came about under the mediation of Pakistan.
.
A 60-day ceasefire?
The United States and Iran are on the verge of reaching an agreement on an additional 60-day ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the most recent reports, all parties are making progress in diplomatic talks to de-escalate the ongoing Iran war. However, this has provoked criticism from some Hardline Republicans.
Top Republicans fiercely attack Trump’s applauded Iran deal.
“The high-profile 60-day ceasefire — based on the assumption that Iran will ever act in good faith — would be a disaster.” This is what Senator Roger Wicker, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote on X on Saturday (May 23, 2026). “Everything that Operation Epic Fury has achieved would be for nothing!”

South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, one of the war’s most vocal proponents, also warned that such an agreement could lead to “a major shift in the balance of power in the region and will be a nightmare for Israel in the long run.”

The 60-Day Rule Behind Trump’s Iran War Deadline
An important legal deadline puts President Trump, Congress and the conflict with Iran under severe pressure. The 60-day limit under the 1973 War Powers Resolution was intended to prevent presidents from continuing military operations without clear approval from lawmakers. When the deadline passes, the demand becomes greater than one operation. Can Congress force action, or does political hesitation leave the decision in the hands of the White House?
.
Because the large-scale US-Israeli attacks on Iran (under the name Operation Epic Fury) began on February 28, 2026, this critical deadline formally expired on May 1, 2026.
.
To bypass the deadline without asking Congress for an official declaration of war, the Trump administration sent a letter to Congress on May 1, 2026. In it, the White House claimed that formal hostilities had been terminated, so that the legal clock of the War Powers Act would no longer apply.
Defense Minister Pete Hegseth argued that the ongoing ceasefire (which was brokered by Pakistan) pauses or stops the legal term. – (AI Mode)

With all this fact, the war against Iran can easily start again. Because it is the Iran regime that is putting Trump under increasing and more pressure. The Hardliners agree that there clearly needs to be a different regime. Only then can the uranium deal be closed.

Republican Hawks warn Trump’s Iran deal could be a costly mistake
As Trump moves closer to a possible deal with Iran, some prominent Republican Hawks warn that the deal could turn into a major strategic mistake. The Guardian reported on May 24 that several well-known GOP Hardliners* strongly criticize the preliminary conditions, stating that the United States would give away too much after months of war and pressure on Tehran.
