President Donald Trump said the US struck Iran yesterday and will strike again today with heavy force, demanding Tehran sign an agreement, according to Israeli media reports. In a separate statement Trump claimed the US successfully removed 'millions of barrels of oil from Iran without them knowing.' The statements come amid an ongoing US aerial campaign against Iranian targets.
President Donald Trump explicitly confirmed for the first time that US forces struck Iran yesterday (June 9) and pledged to strike again today. His statement — 'There is no more ceasefire. We struck them yesterday and we will strike them very hard again today' — signals an escalation in what is now a daily US operational tempo against Iranian infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported at 15:57 UTC today, Trump had already confirmed heavy strikes on Iran and vowed continued action. The latest remarks add the demand that Tehran sign an agreement, as well as the claim that the US extracted large quantities of oil from Iran undetected — a claim that remains unverified. The US air campaign against Iran appears to be proceeding in parallel with ongoing Israeli operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, where the IDF continued strikes on weapons caches and infrastructure in the Tyre area today. No direct coordination between the two campaigns has been confirmed.
