Amidst ongoing military exchanges between American forces and Iran, former President Donald Trump announced plans for a "very strong strike" against the Islamic Republic. He also threatened to "bomb the shit out of Iran" if a proposed agreement was not reached, and outlined intentions to seize Kharg Island and other Iranian oil infrastructure. Trump characterized the April ceasefire as "the most violated in history." In response to the escalating tensions, Tehran declared the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, hours after making these statements, Trump ultimately canceled the planned military operations.
