Trump announces and then cancels planned strikes on Iran
Former President Donald Trump announced intentions for a "very strong strike" against Iran, threatening to "bomb the shit out of Iran" and seize oil facilities, following military exchanges.
Following two nights of military exchanges between American forces and Iran, former President Donald Trump initially announced intentions for a "very strong strike" against the Islamic Republic. He also threatened to "bomb the shit out of Iran" if a proposed deal was not accepted, and outlined plans to take control of Kharg Island and other Iranian oil facilities. Trump described the April ceasefire as "the most violated in history," prompting Tehran to announce the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, hours after these statements, Trump ultimately called off the planned military operations.
