WASHINGTON, Aug 1 — President Donald Trump threatened yesterday to hit Iran “very hard,” as US media reported he was considering renewed heavy attacks as soon as this weekend, including against energy infrastructure targets.
After more than five months of war, which began on February 28 when the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, there is seemingly no end to the conflict, with resumed tit-for-tat attacks.
“We’ll be hitting him very hard and, you know, at some point they’re going to say, ‘We just can’t take it anymore’,” Trump said yesterday as he hosted a cabinet meeting at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.
The Wall Street Journal later reported that Trump had ordered a fresh attack aimed at convincing Tehran to surrender, which could begin as soon as this weekend, citing unnamed US officials.
CBS News meanwhile reported that the United States and Israel were planning joint strikes on energy-related targets, possibly throughout the weekend. Such targets would likely be oil refineries and power plants.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to strike Iran’s vital infrastructure throughout the war, vowing last week to destroy a bridge or power plant plant every time ships in the vital Strait of Hormuz are attacked.
The president had not yet given the green light for the campaign, but Israel and the US were coordinating, CBS said, citing multiple unnamed sources.
The report comes just days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington and met with Trump and US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Some White House aides voiced strong objections to the plan at the cabinet meeting, the CBS report said.
If the plan went forward, it would mark the first time that Israel has joined in attacks on Iran since the initial phase of the war. — AFP
