Trump Threatens "Severe" Strikes on Iran Tonight

US President Donald Trump announced Thursday the United States is poised to launch "extremely powerful" strikes against Iran tonight. In a Truth Social post, Trump stated the violent attack would target Iran, which he claimed has lost its naval and air capabilities, radar and defense systems, and most offensive capacity. He added his country would soon seize Kharg Island and other key oil sites, aiming for full control of Iran's oil and gas markets, citing the Venezuela model that yielded "spectacular results" for both nations.
