Trump announced and then canceled a "very strong strike" against Iran
US President Donald Trump announced plans for a "very strong strike" against Iran, threatening to "bomb the shit out of Iran" and seize oil infrastructure, following two nights of mutual strikes.
US President Donald Trump announced plans for a "very strong strike" against Iran, threatening to "bomb the shit out of Iran" if a proposed agreement was not reached. He also spoke of seizing Kharg Island and other Iranian oil infrastructure. These statements followed two consecutive nights of US military actions against Iranian sites and Iran's retaliatory strikes on American bases in the Middle East. Trump characterized an April ceasefire as "the most violated in history." Amidst the heightened tensions, Tehran reportedly declared the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, hours after his public pronouncements, President Trump ultimately canceled the planned military operations.
