Sources close to the Trump administration report that the United States is preparing for a large-scale attack on Iran involving more than 1,000 Tomahawk missiles, contingent on Tehran failing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by today. The claim, which has not been independently corroborated, follows President Trump's earlier statement today that missiles are 'ready to fire' at Iran.
The claim, attributed to unnamed sources close to the Trump administration, adds a new dimension to the escalating US-Iran crisis. The reported ultimatum — open the Strait of Hormuz or face a massive strike — comes as the US has already conducted multiple waves of airstrikes against Iran in recent weeks. Earlier today, President Trump stated that US missiles are "ready to fire" at Iran, warning that thousands more would be launched if Tehran attempted to assassinate him (The Zioneer, 11:03 Jerusalem). The current report, from a single source, has not been independently confirmed. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transit, has been at the center of the standoff, with Iran threatening to close it and the US vowing to keep it open. The Trump administration has previously warned of severe consequences if Iran disrupts the waterway.
