ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - If Iran retaliates for the US strikes on Tuesday, "they will be hit again much harder," US President Donald Trump warned, attributing the military action to what he said were attempts by Tehran to deploy sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. This comes as senior Iranian military officials have vowed “severe punishment” for the American strikes.
"The United States is, as we speak, striking Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform, describing the bombardment as "large and powerful" and framing it as "retaliation for the Iranians' failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait of Hormuz" and "the Iranians shooting eight missiles" at an American "military base in Jordan.”
"If the failed nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Trump warned.
