Trump threatens Iran with military strikes following trade attacks

US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will strike Iran "very hard tonight" following a second consecutive day of trading attacks between the two nations. The warning of an imminent military response comes amid escalating tensions and consecutive days of exchanges.[1][2][3]

In his statement, President Trump vowed that the U.S. will carry out further strikes against Iranian targets if Tehran does not immediately agree to a peace deal. The demand for an immediate agreement represents a sharp ultimatum to the Iranian leadership following the recent hostilities.[1][2][3]
