U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday (July 8) threatened to attack Iran again after saying an initial ceasefire deal with the Islamic Republic was "over," though he has not made clear whether Washington would be returning to full-on war with Iran.
Speaking on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Ankara, Trump slammed Iranian officials for what he described as not sticking to the deals they negotiated and warned that the United States will likely engage in additional strikes on Wednesday night after U.S. forces had carried out attacks the previous day.
"I give them a little warning. We're going to hit them hard tonight," Trump told reporters at the NATO summit in Turkey alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
He repeated his war aim that Tehran can never have a nuclear weapon but suggested that goal may need to be achieved without a deal.
