  • U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran of further airstrikes, hours after stating a ceasefire was over due to Iranian attacks on U.S. military sites.
  • Trump reiterated threats to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure and seize its oil facilities on Kargar Island.
  • The U.S. strikes are retaliation for Iran's alleged attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump has warned Iran that the United States is preparing for more airstrikes, just hours after declaring a ceasefire agreement over. The shift in stance came after Iran reportedly attacked U.S. military locations in the Persian Gulf.

Trump reiterated his previous threats, stating the U.S. would target Iran's civilian infrastructure, including power plants and desalination facilities. He also mentioned plans to seize Kargar Island, which hosts a significant portion of the Islamic Republic's oil facilities.

We really hit them hard last night. We will probably hit them hard again tonight.

"We really hit them hard last night. We will probably hit them hard again tonight," Trump told reporters in Ankara, where he was attending a NATO summit. He characterized the U.S. strikes as retaliation for Iran's alleged use of drones and missiles against commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The escalation follows an incident where three tankers were reportedly hit. The U.S. responded with airstrikes, and Iran retaliated by targeting U.S. military sites in the Gulf. Trump's statements have fueled fears of a renewed conflict, which began on February 28, by declaring the transitional ceasefire agreement "over," though he added that negotiations could continue.

They are behaving very badly.
