Trump says US campaign against Iran will not last “too long”
US President Donald Trump said Washington was prepared to launch further strikes after targeting Iranian military systems near the Strait of Hormuz.
Washington, United States. US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the renewed US campaign against Iran would not continue for “too long”, following the largest exchange of fire between Tehran and Washington since July.
Claims over Iranian military systems
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump alleged that Iran had been attempting to build a rocket capable of dropping mines and that the United States had destroyed it.
He said Iran had also been working to restore radar and missile systems, which were targeted in the strikes.
Further strikes
“We took out all of the new equipment that they tried to build along the Strait of Hormuz – some defensive, some offensive … It was a very heavy attack last night, and we’re prepared to do another one any time we want,” Trump said.
