President Donald Trump said the US would probably launch further strikes on Iran, ratcheting up pressure on Tehran and raising the prospect of a return to all-out war.
“We hit them very hard last night,” Trump said Wednesday on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. “Probably hit them hard again tonight.”
“I’ll give a little warning,” he added. “But we’ll see how it all works out. No, I’m not happy with them.”
Trump spoke hours after the US launched strikes on Iran and revoked a waiver that allowed Tehran to sell its oil globally, measures Washington said were in response to attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz that it blamed on the Islamic Republic.
The moves posed the greatest threat yet to a ceasefire deal between the US and Iran and talks toward a broader agreement to end the war.
