Iran warns of 'full force' response as U.S. considers redirecting frozen assets

President Donald Trump has ruled out any withdrawal of the roughly 50,000 U.S. troops currently deployed in the Persian Gulf until a definitive peace accord ends the 100-day-old war with Iran, telling NBC News on Sunday that he sees no imminent danger to American forces. “I do not consider them to be in any peril,” Trump said in an interview broadcast the same day, adding that a full withdrawal would only follow a comprehensive settlement ending hostilities.

The remarks come as the conflict—launched by Trump on 28 February under the code-name Operation Epic Fury—enters its fourth month, with more than 7,000 fatalities, mass displacement across southern Iran and Iraq, and the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz pushing oil prices toward $120 a barrel. Iranian officials have privately indicated that the release of some $7 billion in frozen assets would help build the trust necessary for a lasting ceasefire, but Trump dismissed the idea, stating that sanctions relief would only be considered “after the ink is dry on a peace treaty.”

In parallel, Trump threatened to “totally destroy” Iran militarily and then enter the country to dismantle its nuclear infrastructure if negotiators fail to reach an agreement. “We will work together to destroy the uranium—if there is a deal,” he told Portuguese broadcaster Observador on Saturday. The White House has also floated using Iranian assets to compensate Gulf allies for war damage, a proposal that has strained relations with regional partners already frustrated by the prolonged stalemate.

Public discontent is rising in the United States, where polls show majority opposition to further military engagement. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers from both parties have begun drafting legislation that would cap troop levels in the region unless Congress authorises an extension. Meanwhile, Iranian negotiators continue to insist on a complete lifting of sanctions as a precondition for any talks, deepening the mutual mistrust that Petr Hladík, director of the Czech foreign ministry’s Middle East desk, calls “the single greatest obstacle to de-escalation.”

With neither side willing to concede key demands, diplomats privately warn that the fragile truce brokered in April could collapse within weeks, plunging the Gulf back into open conflict and further destabilising global energy markets.

Trump și trupele din Europa: o strategie cu milioane de dolari în joc. „Armata SUA și aliații europeni achită nota Directivele contradictorii ale președintelui american Donald Trump privind efectivele militare americane din Europa au perturbat planificarea militară, au creat confuzie în rândul aliaților NATO și au generat costuri neprevăzute de milioane de dolari. Anularea rotațiilor, schimbările bruște de poziție și orientările neclare din partea Pentagonului au pus presiune pe bugete, au afectat pregătirea trupelor și au destabilizat familiile militarilor. Oficialii avertizează că retragerile mai ample - în special din Germania - ar putea costa miliarde de dolari și dura ani de zile, arată, într-o analiză, Kyiv Post.

Iran war: 100 days on, a costly stalemate One hundred days after US President Trump launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran, the conflict has lasted far longer than expected, causing more than 7,000 deaths, mass displacement, and severe economic disruption driven by the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz and soaring oil prices. Despite a fragile ceasefire, fighting continues with Iran proving more resilient than anticipated. Meanwhile nuclear negotiations have stalled and growing public disapproval is increasing political pressure on Trump.

Jednání jsou důvodem k opatrnému optimismu, říká Hladík sto dní po americko-izraelském útoku na Írán Americké síly v sobotu zasáhly íránská pobřežní radarová zařízení a sestřelily drony, které Írán vyslal směrem k zablokovanému Hormuzskému průlivu. Podle Teheránu tak USA porušily příměří z počátku dubna a Washington tím dal znovu najevo, že nemá zájem o zmírnění napětí. „Hlavní překážkou je velká míra nedůvěry, kterou má íránské vedení vůči Američanům, míní Petr Hladík, ředitel odboru Blízkého východu a Severní Afriky na ministerstvu zahraničí.
