U.S. President Donald Trump signaled additional military strikes on Iran.
Trump said on the 10th (local time) at the White House, "We hit Iran hard yesterday," adding, "Today we will hit Iran again even harder."
Trump said, "We will see how the talks proceed," while also claiming, "The negotiations are completely done." He then noted that Iran is stalling by delaying its signature on the agreement.
Trump called the document for ending the war with Iran a "meaningful document." He criticized the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA, Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) reached during former President Barack Obama's term as "the worst and most foolish document I have ever seen."
Trump argued that if he had not withdrawn from the JCPOA during his first term, Iran would have obtained nuclear weapons. "If they had nuclear weapons, there would be no Israel and no Middle East, and they certainly would have attacked us," Trump said.
He added, "Iran can never have nuclear weapons, and it will not," saying, "They have already agreed to this." He continued, "All they have to do is sign the agreement document."
Meanwhile, Trump also signed the "American Security Act," a $70 billion immigration enforcement budget bill that passed both the Senate and the House. With his signature, the bill completed the legislative process.
"I am very pleased to sign the American Security Act," Trump said, adding, "This provides immediate and full funding for the Department of Homeland Security through the end of my term."
The American Security Act provides three years of funding through the end of Trump's second term for immigration enforcement agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol under the Department of Homeland Security.
Republicans, over Democratic opposition, used the budget reconciliation process—which allows passage with a simple majority—to pass the bill in the Senate on the 5th. The House also approved the budget the previous day in a floor vote, 214-212, and sent it to Trump.
