Trump says US will ‘probably’ hit Iran ‘hard’ again Wednesday night

The US will “probably” hit Iran again on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump warned, after US strikes against Tehran following attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, Anadolu reports.

“We hit them very hard last night, very, very. Probably hit them hard again tonight. I’ll give him a little warning. We’re going to hit him hard tonight,” Trump said at a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit in the Turkish capital Ankara.

Trump reiterated that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.

Earlier, Trump said the memorandum of understanding signed last month with Iran to end the conflict was “over.”

‘We may take over Kharg Island’

Trump also said the US on Tuesday night had attacked Iran’s Kharg Island.

“We knocked out a piece. I said: ‘Don’t touch the oil, because maybe we’ll take over Kharg Island. We may take over Kharg Island’,” he said.

Trump again warned Iran of a possible “big attack.”

The US knocked out about 28 Iranian boats last night, he said.

Asked if the US is going to try to take out more tonight, Trump said: “Normally I wouldn’t tell you, I wouldn’t tell you, but you know what, there’s not a thing they can do about it. So, the answer is probably.”

He also said he was reimposing the naval blockade on Iran.
