Renewed heavy attacks could happen as soon as this weekend, according to US media reports
President Donald Trump threatened Friday to hit Iran “very hard,” as US media reported he was considering renewed heavy attacks as soon as this weekend, including against energy infrastructure targets.
After more than five months of war, which began on 28 February when the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, there is seemingly no end to the conflict, with resumed tit-for-tat attacks.
“We’ll be hitting him very hard and, you know, at some point they’re going to say, ‘We just can’t take it anymore’,” Trump said Friday as he hosted a cabinet meeting at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.
The Wall Street Journal later reported that Trump had ordered a fresh attack aimed at convincing Tehran to surrender, which could begin as soon as this weekend, citing unnamed US officials.
