President Donald Trump warns that US strikes on Iran will “get much worse” if Tehran continues attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The warning comes after what Trump describes as retaliation for an earlier episode involving Iran’s attacks on vessels. Trump posts on social media that the US bombing is “in retribution” for the prior attacks and says that if further attacks occur, the next response will be significantly greater. When speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he returns from a NATO summit in Turkey, Trump reiterates that the US has struck Iran “very hard,” describing past strike intensity in terms of numbers and stating that the latest action was “retribution” for the previous night’s events. Multiple outlets report the same core message: Trump links US strike escalation to continued Iranian actions against shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and he frames additional strikes as a consequence of any renewed attacks.
