Trump warns of more strikes on Iran

2 min read

U.S. president Donald Trump warned on July 8 that the United States would likely carry out further strikes after attacks the previous day and said a memorandum that served as an initial ceasefire with Iran was "over." He spoke at the NATO summit in Turkey before meeting Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy and said Washington might act without a permanent deal. Iran said it had targeted U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait after U.S. forces struck Iranian targets in response to attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, pushing oil prices up and causing some tankers to turn back.

U.S.-Iran hostilities escalated, threatening Strait of Hormuz security.
