US forces “have begun conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,” US Central Command said on X, adding that Washington is “holding Iran responsible for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping.
It follows after US President Donald Trump indicated earlier on Wednesday that he expected the military flare-up with Iran overnight to be over very quickly despite his assertions that the ceasefire was “over”.I think whatever that happens is going to be over in a very short time and will just make things safer, including for oil….Whatever happens will happen very quickly. “We are not looking for long term,” he stated at the close of a two day NATO conference in Ankara.Meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he said: ‘They break the agreement every day. We’re gonna hit ’em hard tonight.
Trump also threatened to hit Iran’s civilian infrastructure and take Kharg Island, home to extensive oil infrastructure.Perhaps we will seize Kharg Island. “We might capture Kharg Island. They couldn’t do a damn thing about it,” Trump said. Trump stated the ceasefire with Iran is “over” after Washington began midnight assaults on the country, which Iran retaliated against by striking US bases in the Gulf.
