Iranian military officials said that allies in the Middle East will become a ‘legitimate target of the armed forces.’
The U.S. president made the remarks just hours after he said that the ceasefire was over following Iran’s attacks on U.S. military sites in the Persian Gulf.
It is unclear whether Iranian attacks and the U.S. military response will lead to another full-scale interruption of shipping traffic through the strait.
Mark Rutte said that since Iran was ‘basically violating the ceasefire,’ it was ‘crucial’ that the United States ‘forcefully react.’
Trump said that negotiations could continue on a broader U.S.–Iran peace deal, while warning that the United States is gearing up for more strikes against Iran.
U.S. Central Command said its airstrikes hit over 80 Iranian targets in response to attacks on three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Several commercial ships were attacked in or near the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday.
NATO allies did not support the United States during its war with Iran despite the U.S. investing billions to support them, the president said.
No country has claimed responsibility for the strikes so far.
The U.S. president said, ‘It’s time to do that,’ following a meeting with the Turkish president.
Ahmed Al-Sharaa has also formed ties with U.S. President Donald Trump, and last year, his government joined the U.S.-led coalition to fight ISIS.
Under the U.S.-backed peace plan, Gaza’s administration would be transferred to a Palestinian technocratic body, ending Hamas’s role in governing the territory.
It comes amid a fragile shipping recovery in Hormuz, where traffic remains subdued and security threats continue despite the ongoing U.S.-Iran ceasefire.
Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin said the Knesset enacts the law and the court is obligated to implement it.
The threat level remains ’substantial' despite the U.S.–Iran truce, as a fleet of 10 Japan-linked ships exited the strait after a long delay, authorities said.
Authorities unveiled the casket containing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s body in a glass case at the Grand Mosalla in Tehran.
Officials have not identified the attackers.
The Israeli prime minister said Sunday that President Donald Trump is acting in the interests of the United States, and he is doing the same for Israel.
