US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States could launch a major military strike against Iran, saying Washington would hit the country “very hard tonight” amid rising tensions between the two sides.
In a post on social media, Trump claimed that US actions had already weakened much of Iran’s military capability, including parts of its navy, air force, radar systems and air defence network. He also said the United States could take control of key Iranian oil facilities, including Kharg Island, which plays a vital role in the country’s oil exports.
Trump compared the proposed approach to US policies in Venezuela, arguing that similar measures had benefited both countries. His remarks have fuelled concerns about a further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. Iran has not yet responded officially to the latest comments.
Meanwhile, efforts to secure a temporary agreement between Tehran and Washington have intensified. According to Iranian sources and a European official, both sides continue to exchange messages on a draft memorandum of understanding despite ongoing military tensions.
Sources said the two countries have reached a broad political understanding, but several key issues remain unresolved. One of the main sticking points is the release of billions of dollars in Iranian oil revenues frozen in foreign banks. Iran is seeking the release of between $6 billion and $12 billion, while the United States reportedly wants to release the funds gradually and restrict their use to humanitarian purposes.
Diplomatic efforts continue, but recent developments have raised fresh doubts about the prospects for a quick breakthrough.
