Trump Warns U.S. Could Strike Iran Again As Ceasefire Shows New Cracks
A shaky pause between the U.S. and Iran is being tested after a weekend of escalating strikes on both sides. U.S. Central Command released video it says shows American forces hitting Iranian missile and drone storage sites, along with radar locations.
The response comes after Iran struck a ship trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, outside Iranian waters. The U.S. hit multiple Iranian targets Friday and Saturday nights, just days after Vice President JD Vance announced in Switzerland that he'd struck a deconfliction deal with Tehran.
Iran responded by targeting another ship, as well as Bahrain and Kuwait. Iran's military released footage of the strikes, though NBC News could not independently verify when it was filmed. The attacks came just days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited both countries in a show of support.
Trump escalated the rhetoric in a written statement, saying "there may come a point when we... will be forced to militarily complete the job we very successfully started," adding that "Iran will no longer exist." U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz echoed that warning: "If the Iranian regime thinks for a second that President Trump is going to sit by, stand by, while Iran continues to attack international shipping without a response, or our bases without a response, they're sadly mistaken."
The dispute now comes down to dueling interpretations of the same agreement. Iranian officials say the memorandum of understanding they signed with the U.S. puts Iran in charge of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and argue it also requires Israel to stop striking Hezbollah, Iran's proxy in Lebanon. Israel doesn't see it that way. This weekend, Israeli forces fired on Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon despite the agreement.
