Donald Trump says "it will not be the biggest attack of them all" about a bigger strike on Iran

The United States has resumed military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, and President Donald Trump warned on social media that an even larger assault is planned against Iran. Trump said the attacks were retaliation for Iranian mining of the vital waterway, and suggested the coming offensive would devastate the Islamic Republic. Oil prices jumped above $95 a barrel. The action follows a Treasury-led sanctions campaign against Tehran. Iranian officials have vowed retaliation; the parliamentary speaker claimed Iran has complete control of the strait and will keep it closed. Iran’s president met Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping at a summit in Kyrgyzstan, where Putin voiced solidarity. Analysts questioned whether sanctions can work without China. Data showed only five crossings on Monday.
