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

Trump said the U.S. may strike again as oil prices rose more than 6% and Iran’s attacks on shipping threatened the fragile ceasefire.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire "over" at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, warning of imminent additional strikes after Iran allegedly attacked commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • U.S. Central Command forces struck over 80 Iranian targets on Tuesday, including coastal radar sites and more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats, in retaliation for Iranian attacks on three commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Trump threatened to seize Kharg Island, which handles roughly 90 percent of Iran's oil exports, and target electric and desalination plants, asserting there was "not a thing" Tehran could do to prevent such actions.
  • Brent crude prices spiked more than 6.5% to $75 per barrel on Wednesday, reflecting investor fears about potential disruptions to the vital Strait of Hormuz energy corridor amid the renewed hostilities.
  • Despite calling negotiations a "waste of time," Trump authorized his team to continue talks, while Iran warned of "very dangerous consequences" and a "crushing response" if U.S. military operations resume.
