Trump Warns US Can ‘Finish Job’ In Iran In A Week; Tehran Says Missiles Averted ‘Gaza Fate’ | Top Updates Published By, Last Updated: June 24, 2026, 04:52 IST Donald Trump warns US could finish the job in Iran in under a week, insists Iran agreed to IAEA inspections, as US Senate moves to limit his military action against Tehran File image of United States President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. (Source: Reuters) United States President Donald Trump has warned that they could “finish the job" in Iran in less than a week if Tehran does not act “reasonably," while reiterating that Washington’s primary objective is to ensure Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon. “Iran has been great. Iran is reasonable if they’re smart; otherwise, we’ll have to finish the job, which will take about maybe less than a week. But they’re going to be okay, I think. They’re going to do what they have to do because we want to have it done," Trump said. Speaking about the Strait of Hormuz, the US president said, “Yesterday, 19 million barrels of oil flowed out of the Strait of Hormuz, a very beautiful place… You’ve never seen anything like it. It’s called an oil gush… I did it for this reason, 99% for this. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve agreed to that." ‘Iran’s Missiles Prevented Gaza-Like Fate’ Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the country’s missile programme had prevented the United States and Israel from treating Iran the way Gaza has been affected.

He also criticised the United States over its human rights record, saying, “They speak of human rights. It is a great lie." “If we could not defend ourselves, they certainly would not have shown mercy to our country and would have destroyed our power. Therefore, we will never, under any circumstances, negotiate with anyone over our defensive capabilities," he added. He further reiterated that Iran’s missile programme was not part of its memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States and would not become a subject of future negotiations. “The discussion over our missiles does not exist in the MoU, and it never will," Pezeshkian said, according to CNN.
