Trump says US ready for more Iran strikes, denies plans to rename Hormuz Strait after himself

The US military is ready to carry out additional strikes against Iran at any time, according to President Donald Trump. A significant attack took place last night, with the US military eliminating all new equipment constructed along the Strait of Hormuz, Trump claimed during a press conference at the White House.

Reports from Iran indicated that a US airstrike on Tuesday night targeted a wedding party in the southern region, resulting in at least four deaths and numerous injuries. However, the US Central Command maintains that they never target civilians. The US military is investigating the claims.

When directly asked about potentially renaming the Strait of Hormuz after himself, Trump dismissed the idea, stating it was merely a casual remark. This suggestion came shortly after he signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America amid trade disagreements with Canada.

It was reported that during a recent rally in Long Island, Trump expressed his intention to declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory. Following the recent escalation in hostilities, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern over the renewed violence and the reported civilian casualties, including a wedding party in Iran.

Guterres emphasized the importance of respecting international humanitarian laws and urged both nations to avoid actions that could further escalate tensions. He emphasized the urgent need for diplomacy to achieve a comprehensive and lasting resolution to the conflict.
