Trump threatens 'very strong strike' on Iran, then cancels operations

Following two nights of US military actions against Iranian sites and Iran's retaliatory strikes on American bases in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump announced plans for a "very strong strike" against Iran. Via Truth Social, he threatened to "bomb the shit out of Iran" if a proposed agreement was not reached, and spoke of seizing Kharg Island and other Iranian oil infrastructure. Trump described an April ceasefire as "the most violated in history." Amidst these escalating tensions, Tehran reportedly declared the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, hours after his public statements, President Trump ultimately canceled the planned military operations.
