President Donald Trump said the United States will ‘probably’ strike Iran again on Wednesday night, after casting doubt on the ceasefire between the two countries.
Potential Targets
Trump floated ‘taking over’ Kharg Island, an area that handles the majority of Iran’s oil exports as part of the potential Wednesday night attacks.
U.S. oil prices sharply rose following Trump’s expressed doubt on the ceasefire. U.S. crude oil jumped more than 6.5% to $75 per barrel on Wednesday.
Military Preparedness
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the military was prepared to hit ‘deeper’ targets in Iran if necessary.
‘Tonight, if we need to, on your order, Mr. President, we will hit even more and even deeper,’ Hegseth said.
