US President Donald Trump threatened another military strike against Iran this evening (Thursday), hinting it could happen soon. In an interview with Salem News Channel, he said he would not hesitate to use military force against Tehran again, claiming the Iranian regime is on the verge of collapse. Trump asserted that the US now fully controls the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, and that the naval blockade imposed on Iran is severely damaging its economy. 'If I saw things developing in the opposite direction, I would do it. And I may do it right now,' he said regarding the possibility of further military action. Later in the interview, Trump claimed the war has severely damaged Iran's military capabilities: 'The regime is collapsing. They have 301% inflation. Their economy is destroyed, they are not paying their soldiers, and their army has been annihilated.' Trump dismissed Tehran's defiant statements, saying they do not reflect the regime's true state. According to him, the US will continue to pressure Iran through the naval blockade but will not hesitate to strike again if the move does not achieve its goals. The president also addressed the campaign so far, claiming the US has not lost a single soldier in the last five months. Trump's remarks come amid continued American pressure on Tehran and the possibility of renewed military confrontation, though he did not announce a decision to attack or a timeline for further action.
