US Strikes Iran as President Trump Vows to ‘Hit Hard’ Today
“We hit them hard yesterday, and we’re going to hit them hard again today.”
Amid Iranian missile and drone attacks on neighboring Arab states and the regime’s rejection of a diplomatic deal, President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that the U.S. is preparing to strike Iran today.
“We hit them hard yesterday, and we’re going to hit them hard again today,” Trump said while talking to reporters in the Oval Office. “We’re going to be attacking them and attacking them very hard.”
On Tuesday, the U.S. struck military targets across Iran after the regime forces shot down an army helicopter patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier on Wednesday, President Trump vowed that Iran will ‘pay the price’ for refusing to make a deal.
“They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price,” he wrote on Truth Social.
Axios reported Wednesday that the president was “growing more and more frustrated over nearly two weeks of waiting for an Iranian response to his latest offer that still has not arrived.”
The Associated Press reported the president’s remarks alongside ongoing U.S. airstrikes against Iran:
The United States launched airstrikes Wednesday against Iran, and President Donald Trump said more were coming, as Tehran fired back at countries in the region. The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, with Trump warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations.
Trump’s warnings at the White House and on social media came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host U.S. troops — came under Iranian fire. It was the second time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire. On Monday, Iran and Israel targeted each other.
“We’re going to hit them again hard today,” Trump told reporters at the White House hours after U.S.. Central Command said it struck Iranian military sites.
Minutes after the president spoke, Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it had disabled another oil tanker flouting the U.S. naval blockade in place since April.
“U.S. forces disabled an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman for the second consecutive day after another vessel violated the ongoing blockade by attempting to transport oil from Iran,” CENTCOM said around noon Eastern Time.
The tanker, sailing under the flag of the western Pacific island nation of Palau, was disabled “as it transited the Gulf of Oman,” CENTCOM continued. “A U.S. aircraft fired precision munitions into the ship’s engine room after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces.”

In keeping with the blockade imposed by President Trump, U.S. “forces have disabled eight non-compliant vessels, redirected 134 ships that complied, and allowed 42 vessels supporting humanitarian aid to pass since initiating the blockade on April 13,” CENTCOM disclosed.
Trump: Secret U.S. mission escorted 200 ships through the Strait of Hormuz
President Trump on Truth Social revealed that since last month the U.S. armed forces have been conducting a “secret mission” aimed at aiding ships to carry oil and cargo though the Strait of Hormuz.
The “effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Straight, and into the Open Market,” President Trump revealed. “More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait.”

The Iranian Leaders do not plan to agree to anything with Trump, but really drag things out as they know Dems, Left, and Media push against Trump. I really think the Trump Admin should destroy Iran’s oil fields, water production, and all infrastructure. Until Iran has nothing to produce and people revolting there will be no agreements from their leaders.
Not the oil fields/wells but the rest of the infrastructure? Absolutely. Blow up water plants, electricity generation, Hwy, bridges, dams. Keep striking their remaining military targets and add a couple of infrastructure targets to the daily list. Rinse and repeat until the Regime surrenders, the Regime is overthrown or there’s literally nothing left to strike but rubble…then drop fuel air munitions on the rubble.
Yes
You got love a cease fire. This should be our new policy. Declare a cease fire and still bomb the crap out of them. When the idiot democrats complain just tell them that we have a cease fire and ask what more to do they want.
Kudlow said something earlier today on the Big Money show about an article claiming that the Trump Administration was doing something to return the Iranian oil to the international market, but he claimed no further knowledge about specifics.
There’s only one way to end this war.
Let’s stop playing and just put them down.
To reiterate, it would be a good time to provide a few thousand weapons to the Persian protesters.
Good time to be a coffin maker over there.
I hate to say it but Trump reminds me of Johnson and Nixon during the Vietnam War. Both badly wanted to do a deal with North Vietnam. Both thought they could use a carrot and stick approach with bombing the stick and a halt in the bombing the carrot. They both couldn’t understand why North Vietnam wouldn’t do the deal. Sort of sounds like Trump. his deal, Iran. and the cease fire at least to me.
The North Vietnamese were fanatical in what they wanted which was to end the colonialism of their country. Yes they were communists but what they really wanted was to kick foreign control out and they had been fighting for this for a longtime.
Similarly the revolutionary guard and mullahs are fanatics, They want what they what regardless if anyone agrees with them or not, They aren’t going to lose sight of their goals no matter what we do,
There will never be a deal, at least a lasting deal with these fanatics. They will wait for us to cave, declare victory, and go home. They are aided by what are frankly traitors in our government, our populace, and our alliances.
The only way to handle fanatics is to conquer them. Kill the worst of them and put your boot on the neck of the rest until the fanatically urge is essentially bred out of them. That is what did with Japan and Germany and we were largely successful.
If you’re not going to be serious about engaging fanatics you might as well never get involved. All you can do is smack them down when they act egregiously and do your best to isolate them and any allies they have the rest of the time,
Yep. The only carrot we should be offering is to stop using the stick if they surrender.
The President has finally come to the conclusion that Susan Wiles is wrong about Iran. They will never agree to give up their nuclear dreams. Unlike Vietnam as the above poster referenced we don’t have troops on the ground with daily casualty lists and death counts. The off ramp is behind him. Opening the Strait and obliterating the ability to attack shipping will lead to almost immediate oil price drops.
I have engaged with Persians/Iranians in business dealings in Los Angeles. They are notorious for never accepting a “done deal” as final. A signed contract is simply the next starting point for further negotiations.
“But we had a deal” is nothing to them.
That’s incredibly interesting that the US Navy has escorted a couple hundy ships through the straight…and here I was told by the subject matter experts ™ that Irans super duper submarines had closed off the straights to everyone? 🤔
we’d be better off letting mossad find individuals and do the deed
Just ‘strike’ them, don’t talk about it.
