ANKARA, Turkey — The U.S. plans to bomb Iran again as soon as Wednesday night and could attempt to take Kharg Island, said President Donald Trump earlier in the day at the close of the annual NATO leaders’ summit.
Iranian leaders “are behaving very badly, as they have for 47 years, and we hit them hard last night,” Trump said. “I’ll give him a little warning. We’re going to hit them hard tonight, but we’ll see how it all works out.”
Trump said that the U.S. already hit some targets Tuesday on Iran’s Kharg Island, the nation’s primary oil export hub, though Pentagon statements have made no mention of it.
Trump’s remarks — made shortly after he said the ceasefire with Iran was “over” in his eyes — mark the most concrete sign of a full resumption of military operations after getting fed up with roundabout talks.
