Trump says US could attack Iran ‘maybe tomorrow’ as Tehran denies offering deal to reopen Hormuz
Donald Trump said Tehran was interested in reaching an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz but questioned whether it would adhere to the terms.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump cast his vote in Florida, where he suggested the potential for military action against Iran on Sunday. During his interview with reporters, Trump indicated that Iran was interested in reopening the Strait of Hormuz but questioned their commitment to any proposed terms. When asked about the possibility of launching an attack on Iran, Trump responded, "Do you really think I would tell you that?
Maybe tomorrow...There's a possibility I will. There's also a possibility we'll have a nice, big, beautiful agreement." He further emphasized his administration's successful strategy in the region, highlighting that the US Navy and military had "knocked out every jet fighter of Iran" and that 259 ships are now at the bottom of the sea.
Iran denied reports that it had proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with a Saudi Arabian media outlet claiming the claim was a "lie and fabrication." The rise in tensions has led US intelligence agencies to detect increased attempts by Iran to target American diplomats and officials, prompting the State Department to reduce staffing at several US embassies in the Middle East.
