President Donald Trump says the United States will hit Iran “very hard,” as multiple reports indicate Washington is considering renewed heavy military action as soon as this weekend. Speaking at a cabinet meeting at the Camp David presidential retreat, Trump said he expects Iran to eventually conclude it “can’t take it anymore,” according to US media coverage.
Subsequent reporting describes a potential US-led campaign intended to pressure Tehran, including targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure. The Wall Street Journal reports Trump has ordered a fresh attack aimed at convincing Iran to surrender, citing unnamed US officials. CBS News similarly reports the United States and Israel are planning joint strikes on energy-related sites, with oil refineries and power plants described as likely targets.
Times of India adds that White House aides reportedly raise objections to the proposed campaign, describing internal debate over the scope or approach. Across the accounts, the central points converge on Trump’s public threat, US consideration of renewed attacks, and the focus on energy infrastructure, though specific operational details and timing are not confirmed publicly.
