President Donald Trump said the United States "hit them hard" and may carry out additional strikes on Iran tonight, according to a statement. The remarks follow his earlier warning that the US would "probably" attack Iran again on Wednesday.
At 16:42 Jerusalem on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said the United States "hit them hard" and may carry out additional strikes on Iran tonight. The statement follows his warning at 16:14 that the US would "probably" attack Iran again and that the ceasefire with Iran is "over."
Earlier on Wednesday, at 11:09 Jerusalem, Trump made a series of escalating statements: he declared the ceasefire over, called Iranian negotiators "scum" and "psychopaths," claimed he appears on Iranian assassination lists, and threatened a "very heavy" strike. The Zioneer reported these developments in real time. Since then, the US has been conducting a sustained campaign of airstrikes against Iranian targets following the escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump previously threatening to seize Kharg Island.
As The Zioneer has reported, Trump previously warned of "hard daily strikes" and confirmed heavy strikes on Iran, signaling a shift to a sustained operational tempo. The US has maintained a maritime blockade and struck over 80 targets in initial waves, according to earlier reports.
No new strikes have been reported since the 16:42 statement. It remains unclear whether the US will conduct additional strikes tonight, as Trump suggested, or if diplomatic channels remain open, given Trump's earlier mixed signals on negotiations.
