President Donald Trump said Friday that the United States will continue to direct 'hard blows' against Iran, and hinted that 'something is about to happen' regarding the Islamic Republic, according to reports. The statement comes amid ongoing U.S. military operations against Iranian targets.
President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States will continue to strike Iran 'hard' and added that 'something is about to happen' regarding the Islamic Republic, according to reports. The statement, reported at 16:46 Jerusalem time, follows a similar declaration by Trump just minutes earlier, when he said the US would continue to strike Iran 'hard,' as reported by i24NEWS. The new remarks include an additional hint of an unspecified impending development.
The US has been conducting an intense air campaign against Iranian strategic infrastructure since July, following the collapse of the Islamabad memorandum. Trump has issued multiple threats of escalation, including warnings of 'massive' attacks and vows to 'hit them very hard.' His latest comments suggest a continuing willingness to maintain or increase pressure on Tehran.
The precise nature of the 'something about to happen' was not elaborated, and it remains unclear whether it refers to a new round of strikes, a diplomatic development, or another type of action.
