'Very little of Iran will be left': Trump's big warning as US launches strikes near Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump has warned Iran that its retaliation will result in the loss of "very little" of the nation. Following the US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran responded with counterattacks on a US military base in Jordan, prompting Trump to issue another warning. He stated that if Iran retaliates for this "very justified attack," they will face even harsher consequences, though the worst is yet to come.

Trump claimed that the US had "almost total control" of the crucial shipping route, while also noting the collapse of the Iranian economy due to American sanctions.
