Donald Trump asks when Iranians will "rise up and fight" their government after U.S. strikes

After the U.S. military announced late Tuesday that it had completed strikes on Iran's Revolutionary Guard—including air defenses, radar, maritime targets and mine-laying sites—President Donald Trump used social media to question why Iranians have not revolted against their government. His remarks followed Iranian retaliation for the American barrage and a weekend clash that began with attacks on tankers leaving the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has shut to shipping. Iran also hit U.S. assets in Jordan, Bahrain and Iraq, and local agencies reported casualties at a wedding near the strait. Trump separately said he was not seeking to force Iran to negotiate. The escalation has spiked energy prices and followed earlier U.S.-Israeli strikes and Iranian counterstrikes that have caused thousands of deaths and displaced millions.
