JERUSALEM, Israel – U.S. CENTCOM announced on Thursday that forces struck Iranian targets for the thirteenth straight night as Israel braces for a possible counterattack from Tehran.
The strikes targeted Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) assets aimed at reducing Tehran’s ability to threaten shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump told Axios that he’s considering what he called a “massive attack,” one “bigger than ever before,” and larger than Operation Epic Fury, which was launched on February 28th.
He claimed that Iran has not “received enough pain,” and is not yet ready for negotiations.
“They’ve got some evil intentions,” he stated. “We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon.”
He added, “If we did, all this that I’m talking about, about your data centers, isn’t that important. When they start blowing away communities one by one, we cannot let them ever even think about having a nuclear weapon, and that’s what’s happening. They’ll never have a nuclear weapon.”
