Trump: We Will Strike Iran Hard Today Just as We Did Yesterday

SadaNews - US President Donald Trump hinted once again at striking Iran, stating today, Wednesday, that the United States will attack Iran "with very great force." He added in remarks to reporters from the White House that Washington "will deliver strong blows again today, just as we did yesterday." He also clarified that his country wants a "real and effective agreement," emphasizing that "Iran agreed not to possess nuclear weapons and now they must sign." He indicated that the United States wants a meaningful and applicable agreement with Tehran. Moreover, he said, "Iran continues to procrastinate, and we will see where things lead." Regarding his threat to destroy infrastructure in Iran, Trump stated, "I will not provide details about our intention to destroy Iranian bridges and power stations." Trump had earlier declared today that he is ready to issue orders for new attacks on Iranian power stations and bridges, but he said that Iran has a chance to sign a deal and survive, according to Fox News. He also reiterated that Tehran is significantly delayed in reaching an agreement with Washington to end the war, adding, "I am not done with Iran yet." It is noteworthy that the United States carried out airstrikes last night on several sites in southern Iran, following the US President's confirmation that Tehran shot down an American Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz, raising doubts about the prospects for peace between the two countries. In response, Iranian forces fired missiles and drones towards American bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, all of which were reportedly intercepted and shot down. There were also mutual confrontations between Israel and Iran last Sunday evening until Monday morning before both sides announced a halt to the attacks after Trump urged both parties to de-escalate. This escalation has added further complexity to the efforts to reach an agreement between Washington and Tehran that would end the war that erupted on February 28, despite the US President's repeated statements over the past period about being close to reaching an accord.
