Trump vows to hit Iran “very hard” tonight:President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will attack Iran again tonight following two days of back and forth strikes in the most serious escalation in the war since a ceasefire was declared on April 8. “The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT,” Trumppostedon social media. “At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela.”
U.S. launches new strikes on Iran:
The U.S. military launched strikes “against multiple targets in Iran” overnight,claimingthe strikes were in “self-defense” in response to “Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.”
Iranian media reported attacks in numerous locations, including the port city of Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Sirik and Minab in the south, and Karaj west of Tehran.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said sites hit included a manufacturing complex, a military barracks and a local IRGC base outside of Tehran.
Explosions were heard across Hormozgan province, the southern coastal region bordering the Strait of Hormuz, with four blasts occurring in the coastal town of Sirik, according to Tasnim News.
A strike was reported near Minab, roughly 60 miles east of Bandar Abbas, and additional explosions were heard near Korgan Port on the Gulf of Oman Coast. Two people werewoundedin the Korgan attack, according to an IRIB reporter in the city. A blast was also reported in Bandar Abbas itself by the Fars Gulf Broadcasting Center.
