Trump said earlier today that the US would “probably” strike Iran “very hard” again tonight.
“We hit them very hard last night, very, very hard,” Trump said, adding the US would “probably hit them hard again tonight”.
Trump added: “I gave them a little warning, we’re gonna hit them hard again tonight.”
Earlier in the day, when asked whether the ceasefire is over and the memorandum of understanding the two countries agreed last month was also over, Trump said: “To me, I think it’s over.
“I don’t want to deal with them anymore, they’re scum. You know what scum is? They’re scum. They’re sick people.”
Asked if talks would resume, Trump said: “I don’t care, they can talk. But I think they’re wasting their time. They’re a bunch of lying guys.”
