Trump announced then canceled planned strikes on Iran
After two nights of military exchanges, President Donald Trump announced intentions for a "very strong strike" against Iran and plans to seize oil infrastructure, but later canceled the planned military action.
Following two nights of military exchanges between US forces and Iran, President Donald Trump announced intentions for a "very strong strike" against the Islamic Republic. He also threatened to "bomb the shit out of Iran" if a proposed agreement was not reached, and reiterated plans to seize Kharg Island and other Iranian oil infrastructure. Trump described the April ceasefire as "the most violated in history." Amidst these developments, Tehran declared the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Hours after his initial warnings, President Trump ultimately canceled the planned strikes.
