A frustrated President Donald Trump threatened to completely anihilate the country of Iran if the Islamic republic continues to launch attacks on tankers and U.S. forces, in violation of a 60-day cease-fire agreement Tehran signed earlier this month.
“United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“It is very possible that they will never learn!” he added.
“There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started,” said the president, before dropping what could be a final warning.
“If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” the president’s post concluded.
U.S. Central Command announced on Saturday that additional strikes were launched against “multiple targets in Iran” following another Iranian attack on a commercial vessel.
“After yesterday’s U.S. strikes in response to the Iranian attack on M/V Ever Lovely, Iran was given a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement but elected not to when its forces launched a one-way attack drone that hit M/T Kiku this morning at 4:30 a.m. ET,” CENTCOM said.
“U.S. military aircraft targeted Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities,” the command’s social media post noted further.
Trump’s approval rating climbed to its highest level of the year following the administration’s push to end the war with Iran, according to a recent Daily Mail/JL Partners survey.
The poll found Trump with a 47% approval rating and 53% disapproval, marking his strongest showing since late February and his highest approval rating of 2026.
The survey represents a noticeable rebound after Trump’s approval spent the previous three months hovering around 43% following a low point of 42% in mid-March.
Pollsters suggest the improvement coincides with growing public approval of the administration’s efforts to wind down the nearly four-month conflict with Iran, an agreement that has also been accompanied by falling oil and gasoline prices.
The survey was conducted June 19-21, shortly after Trump attended the G7 summit in France, where ending the Iran conflict became one of the gathering’s central issues.
Throughout the summit, Trump repeatedly argued that bringing the war to a close would improve global stability while lowering energy prices.
Those efforts culminated in a memorandum of understanding extending the ceasefire between the United States and Iran while negotiators work toward a broader peace agreement.
Financial markets responded positively, while gasoline prices also continued to decline.
According to AAA, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline has fallen from $4.52 to $3.93.
Trump highlighted those developments in a Truth Social post Tuesday.
“19 millions barrels of oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait yesterday, an all time record,” Trump wrote.
“Oil prices are tumbling down, and the world is a much safer place!” he added.
The latest survey suggests voters may be connecting those economic improvements with the administration’s foreign policy.
JL Partners founder James Johnson told the Daily Mail that Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict appears to have directly influenced public opinion.
“President Trump appears to have got a direct approval bump from the Iran deal, putting him on his second-highest rating of the year so far,” Johnson said.
“That makes sense, given we know voters see a clear link between gas prices and the Iran conflict being open.”
The numbers also reflect a shift from just one month earlier.
A Daily Mail/JL Partners poll conducted in May found that 59% of respondents believed the economy was getting worse while energy prices remained elevated.
Republicans continue to overwhelmingly support the president.
The latest poll found 82% of Republican voters approve of Trump’s job performance.
