As tensions over trade, Taiwan, technology, and global influence intensify, the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping may determine the future balance of power between Washington and Beijing. By Dr. Pshtiwan Faraj | Sulaimani, Iraq | 13 May 2026 — Kurdish Policy Analysis "We don't have permanent allies and we don't have permanent enemies, only our interests are permanent, and we have to follow them." – Henry John Temple. The root of the current Strait of Hormuz tensions is not only about shipping routes or oil prices, but also about the final collapse of the historical US concept towards Beijing. However, the 2025 National Security Strategy, released by the White House in November, says this was a historic mistake because China used the assets it accumulated to strengthen itself and compete with the West, not to become their partner. For many years, the United States alone maintained maritime security; The fifth US ship in Manama, Bahrain, worked only to keep o...

Trump Warns of “Bigger, Stronger” Military Action if Iran Deal Fails

 U.S. signals sustained military presence near Strait of Hormuz as Iran tensions hinge on compliance with “REAL AGREEMENT”


Kurdish Policy Analysis Report

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump said U.S. military forces will remain deployed “in and around” Iran until a “REAL AGREEMENT” is fully implemented, warning of a significantly escalated response if compliance fails.

In a strongly worded statement posted on social media, Trump said U.S. ships, aircraft, and personnel — backed by additional ammunition and weaponry — are positioned to ensure what he described as the “destruction of an already substantially degraded enemy.”

“If for any reason it is not [complied with], which is highly unlikely, then the ‘Shootin’ Starts,’ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before,” Trump said.

The remarks come amid heightened tensions surrounding Iran’s regional posture and the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit route. Trump asserted that under the agreement, “NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS” would be permitted and the waterway would remain “OPEN & SAFE.”

While details of the “REAL AGREEMENT” referenced by Trump remain unclear, his comments suggest a conditional de-escalation tied directly to Iranian compliance. Analysts say the language signals a dual-track approach: deterrence through overwhelming force alongside conditional diplomacy.

Trump also emphasized that U.S. forces are “loading up and resting,” describing the military as prepared for potential future operations, adding that it is “looking forward… to its next conquest.”

There was no immediate response from Iranian officials.

Security experts warn that rhetoric of this scale — particularly referencing pre-positioned forces and potential large-scale escalation — could further destabilize an already volatile regional balance, especially if misinterpreted by actors on the ground.
