Trump demands Iran stops Hezbollah from 'causing trouble,' threatens new strikes

Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran via a Truth Social post, demanding an immediate halt to its support for proxies in Lebanon, which he implied were acting on Iran's behalf. Trump threatened significant military action against Iran if these activities persist, stating, "If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again."

Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble.

In a separate communication reported by Fox News, Trump also addressed the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran. He conveyed a direct threat to Iranian officials, asserting that any attempt to block the vital shipping lane would result in severe consequences, including the potential U.S. takeover of the strait. "You close it, and you won't have a country," Trump reportedly stated, adding, "I'll blow the s*** out of them."

If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again.

Trump also revisited his earlier suggestion that Syria should take the lead in confronting Hezbollah. He reportedly believes that Syrian forces might be more precise in their operations than the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). This idea was previously floated by Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit, following criticism of Israeli strikes for their perceived lack of accuracy.

You close it, and you won't have a country. You won't even make it back to your f***ing country.
