President Donald Trump responded 'probably yes' when asked if the US plans to disable more Iranian ships tonight, according to an exchange with a journalist. The statement follows his earlier claim that 28 Iranian boats were destroyed.
President Donald Trump confirmed Wednesday afternoon that the United States will likely disable additional Iranian naval vessels tonight, responding 'probably yes' to a journalist's question about further strikes. The remark, reported by Israeli media monitoring, came after a series of statements earlier today in which Trump detailed the destruction of 28 Iranian small boats and hinted at continued operations, initially citing an Iranian violation of an agreed pause for a funeral.
As The Zioneer reported at 16:34 Jerusalem, Trump earlier said the US destroyed 28 Iranian boats and suggested there would be further strikes tonight. That report followed a cascade of updates earlier this morning (all at 06:02 Jerusalem): Trump first stated the US would 'probably' strike again, then called Iranian behavior 'completely bad', then said the US 'took down 28 boats' and detailed the funeral-pause violation. Across those versions, the source was Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), and the claim moved from a single channel to multiple Israeli newsrooms.
Over the preceding weeks, The Zioneer reported a steady escalation: on June 11, Trump said there would be 'more and bigger bombings' tonight; on July 5, he claimed the US had destroyed the Iranian army and sunk its navy; and on July 6, he said he could destroy all of Iran's bridges in an hour. The pattern shows an intensifying strike tempo and Trump's repeated warning of nightly operations.
No further details on the scope, targets, or timing of tonight's planned operations have been officially released, and the remark remains a single-sourced exchange with a journalist, not a formal announcement.
