President Trump stated on July 11, 2026, that the United States is locked and loaded if Iran targets him. CNN published the statement at 11:14 AM EDT. The remark came amid ongoing discussions between Washington and Tehran.
Admiral James Stavridis, CNN senior military analyst and former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, discussed the warning and Tehran's response. Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, told CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen that a lack of trust remains between the U.S. and Iran.
Azizi added that Tehran has not seen a serious will from Washington to finalize a deal framework.
