‘Behave, be good’: Trump tells Iran to ink deal first, asset unfreeze to come later

US President Donald Trump stated that sanctions relief and asset unfreezing for Iran are contingent on a peace deal, with potential future concessions if Tehran “behaves.” He clarified Lebanon’s exclusion from short-term agreements. Trump emphasized Iran’s need to face consequences after decades of perceived impunity, noting the conflict’s 100-day mark without a permanent resolution.
