President Donald Trump said the United States is likely to carry out a major military strike against Iran later Tuesday, signaling a sharp escalation in tensions between the two countries.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States is likely to launch a significant military strike against Iran later in the day, as hostilities between Washington and Tehran continue to intensify.
"Most likely, we'll hit Iran very hard tonight," Trump said while commenting on the latest developments in the ongoing exchange of attacks between the two countries.
The president did not provide further details about the potential operation, including possible targets or the scale of the planned military action.
Trump's remarks come amid rapidly escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, raising concerns that the confrontation could widen and further destabilize the Middle East. Neither the White House nor the Pentagon immediately released additional information following the president's comments.
Iranian officials had not publicly responded to Trump's latest statement at the time of publication.
