Trump Says Iran Is Taking Too Long to Negotiate a Ceasefire Deal and Will Now Have to “Pay the Price”

HeadlineJun 10, 2026

This morning, President Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran has taken too long to negotiate a ceasefire deal and will now have to “pay the price.” This comes as the U.S. military said it had completed strikes against Iran that were reportedly in response to the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media is reporting that around 20,000 Iranians have lost access to drinking water after two reservoirs were reportedly hit by U.S. strikes. Two U.S. officials told CNN the Apache helicopter was brought down by an Iranian drone, and said it was unclear whether the helicopter was intentionally targeted. An Apache helicopter costs between $52 million to over $100 million, while an Iranian Shahed drone costs roughly $35,000 to produce. Iran said it launched retaliatory strikes on U.S. targets in the region. This morning, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had carried out missile and drone attacks on U.S. military bases in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain.
