Trump asserted that Iran has "no choice" but to agree to a deal, warning of severe consequences. "You [Iran] won't have anything left," he said, underscoring the administration's aggressive stance. He also alluded to the impact of recent U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) strikes along the Strait of Hormuz, noting the effectiveness of these operations.
"We're beating them up really badly," Trump commented on the military actions. "They have to be beaten up. We're hitting them very, very hard. We're hitting every single thing they have along the [Hormuz] shore."
You [Iran] won't have anything left.
Trump further emphasized the success of the renewed U.S. military operations in the region, suggesting that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find remaining targets. The president's remarks signal a significant escalation in the U.S. campaign against Iran, with potential infrastructure targets now explicitly mentioned.
We're beating them up really badly. They have to be beaten up. We're hitting them very, very hard. We're hitting every single thing they have along the [Hormuz] shore.
