"There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist," Trump stated. Iranian media had previously reported attacks on Qeshm Island and near the cities of Sirik and Bandar-e Lengeh. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the strikes, framing them as retaliation for Iran's alleged attack on a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
