Trump Pressures Iran, Sets 60-Day Deadline for Agreement or Face Unpleasant Measures

Published: Jun 20, 2026 13:49
US President Trump continued to pressure Iran, firmly stating that he would use the 60-day window provided after the launch of the US-Iran agreement to continue pushing forward negotiations, while still using economic pressure as an important bargaining chip. Trump mentioned that approximately 700 ships were currently transiting the Strait of Hormuz normally. He explicitly demanded that Iran must reach an agreement within the 60-day deadline; otherwise, it would face some unpleasant measures. However, Trump also believed that the situation might not necessarily deteriorate to that extent.
