BREAKING: President Trump says the U.S. will hit Iran ‘VERY HARD TONIGHT,’ claiming the regime’s Navy, Air Force, radar, air defenses and much of its offensive capability are completely “GONE.”
Trump also floated taking Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure points, saying the U.S. would “assume total control” of Iran’s oil and gas markets.
The statement marks a sharp escalation as tensions remain centered on Iran’s military infrastructure, oil exports, and the Strait of Hormuz.
The retaliation didn't take long.
Hours after Iran launched ballistic missiles toward northern Israel, the IDF says Israeli warplanes struck targets in western and central Iran.
Explosions were reportedly heard across multiple Iranian cities, including Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan.
The exchange threatens to deepen tensions as President Trump attempts to negotiate a deal with Iran.

"You're f****** crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your a***. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."
That's what a U.S. official tells Axios President Trump unloaded on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a heated phone call over Israel's military actions in Lebanon.
Trump was reportedly furious that Israel's moves risked blowing up U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region, at one point also asking Netanyahu: "What the f*** are you doing?"
