Trump warns US will 'probably strike Iran' on Wednesday night, following recent attacks
Trump said the U.S. may strike again as Iran retaliated on American bases and oil prices rose more than 5%, officials said.
- 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.

- 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.
