U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated threats of severe military action against Iran on Wednesday night. This comes amid a stalemate in indirect negotiations aimed at reaching an agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz and halt Iran's nuclear program. Speaking at an election rally in Alaska ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, Trump stated, "Wait and see what we do to Iran. We are going to hit them hard. Wait and see what we do to Iran. Because we've had enough."
Earlier, U.S. media published quotes from Trump expressing a form of regret over the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. At a different campaign rally, Trump remarked, "Maybe we went too far in eliminating the Iranian leadership, because now we have no one to talk to and you don't know who can make decisions there."
Simultaneously, Iranian forces fired on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday evening, continuing the ongoing tension in the Persian Gulf. This escalation occurs alongside exchanges of fire between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.
