'It will get much worse': Donald Trump warns Iran as US launches fresh strikes over Tehran's Hormuz 'aggression'
US President Donald Trump on Thursday warned Iran that "it will become much worse" after the US military launched a fresh wave of strikes in response to attacks on cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier.
"This is in retaliation for yesterday's attacks on cargo ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
His post came after the United States Central Command ( CENTCOM ) on launched fresh strikes against Iran over what it described as Tehran's "unjustified aggression" in the Strait of Hormuz.
"At the direction of the Commander in Chief, US Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM wrote on X.
"The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway," the command added.
The action comes just a day after the US military hit a variety of military sites and port facilities following what it described as Iran’s targeting of several merchant vessels off the coast of Oman.
