US prepared to launch a new wave of strikes against Iran at any time, Trump warns
“It was a very heavy attack last night, and we’re prepared to do another one anytime we want,” Trump continued, adding that the US “blew up much more than their radars” in Monday night’s strikes.
US President Donald Trump has warned that the US is prepared to launch another wave of strikes against Iran at any time. According to Trump, Monday night's strikes were "a very heavy attack" and the US "blew up much more than their radars". The US military reportedly struck air defences, radar systems, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities, and communications sites.
The exchange of fire between the US and Iran has raised concerns over the impact on the global economy, with oil prices experiencing a volatile session. Iran has accused the US of hitting a wedding party, resulting in 18 people being killed and 108 injured, according to Iran's health minister. The US claimed to have destroyed an Iranian rocket that drops mines.
Trump has stated that the renewed US campaign against Iran "won't continue for too long". He also claimed that the US has control over the Strait of Hormuz, with "lots of boats" bringing out "millions of barrels of oil" daily, and that Iran occasionally shoots down US drones, which are then knocked down by the US.
