Trump threatens new attacks on Iran, claims Hamas deal linked to Iran actions

U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated rhetoric against Iran, threatening "very hard" attacks and asserting a desire to "just win." Speaking at a government meeting at Camp David, Trump offered no specifics on the timing or nature of these potential strikes.

“

We are going to hit them very hard.

Trump reiterated his claims of military success against Iran, stating that "at some point they are going to say, 'we just can't take it anymore.'" He expressed frustration with diplomatic efforts, criticizing Iran for alleged broken agreements and misrepresentation of talks. "Everything they do just makes me angry," Trump stated.

“

We just want to win.

The president also linked the U.S.-Israeli "attack war" against Iran to a deal to disarm the Palestinian Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip. Trump asserted that Israel is "very happy" with this agreement, despite conflicting reports from Israeli government sources. These sources indicated no withdrawal of military forces from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed.

“

Everything they do just makes me angry.

Hamas, however, insists that Israeli forces must withdraw from the approximately 70 percent of Gaza they currently occupy before they will lay down their arms. Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has deemed the deal "unacceptable," though the government has not issued an official statement. Trump, unfazed by the apparent discrepancies, expressed confidence that disarming Hamas would be possible, attributing this potential success to actions concerning Iran.

No one would have ever thought that it would be possible to disarm Hamas.
