Trump warns US will 'probably strike Iran' on Wednesday night, following recent attacks

US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning, stating he would "probably hit Iran tonight" during a press conference at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. The president's remarks came after recent attacks on commercial shipping in international waterways. "I'll give a little warning: We're going to hit them hard tonight," Trump told reporters before a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

I'll give a little warning: We're going to hit them hard tonight.

Trump further declared that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran is "over." He expressed frustration with the Iranian regime, stating, "I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. They're sick people." He also noted that the US military "knocked out 28 boats last night, and will probably knock out more boats tonight."

The Iranian regime has been "killing soldiers, killing people for 47 years," and that because of that, the US has "a score to settle."

Earlier on Wednesday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced a "series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping." In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) confirmed they targeted US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait, retaliating against US strikes in southern Iran. The US has also reinstated sanctions on Iranian oil sales, further complicating the fragile agreement between the two nations.

We may just do it without a deal.
