“forced to militarily complete the job”
A fragile US-Iran ceasefire collapsed after an Iranian drone struck a Panama-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting American airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure. Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles and drones at US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. President Donald Trump, posting on Truth Social, confirmed the US strikes and accused Tehran of breaking the truce. He warned that Washington could escalate its military campaign if Iran continued its actions, suggesting the US would be compelled to finish the operation by force. Both sides have accused each other of violating the agreement, raising fears of a broader regional conflict and threats to global energy supplies through the strategic waterway.
