President Donald Trump says the United States will be hitting Iran “very hard” tonight, adding that Washington will take over Iran’s Kharg island and other oil infrastructure points.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the US strikes on the country, saying that it has rendered the ceasefire “practically meaningless”. Earlier, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) launched retaliatory strikes on US forces in the region, including in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, according to Iranian news reports. Iran’s military also ordered the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels.
