US Plans 'Very Hard' Strike on Iran Amid Peace Negotiations

US President Donald Trump warns of impending military strikes on Iran while negotiations for a peace deal continue. Trump claims control over Iran’s oil assets could benefit the US as it has in Venezuela. Overnight negotiations between the US and Iran persist despite escalating military tensions.

In a stark warning, US President Donald Trump announced plans for military action against Iran, emphasizing an imminent and 'very hard' strike scheduled for Thursday night. This development comes amid ongoing diplomatic discussions aimed at finalizing a peace agreement with Tehran.

Through a post on Truth Social, Trump outlined the United States' intention to seize control of Iran's crucial oil export hub, Kharg Island, along with its oil infrastructure, to dominate its energy markets. He likened this strategy to the US's control of Venezuela's oil reserves, claiming both nations benefited from the arrangement.

Trump accused Iran of dismantling its defense capabilities and used the downing of a US Apache helicopter as justification for the escalation. US Central Command confirmed that recent military responses targeted Iran's surveillance and communication systems as talks between the two nations continue, despite heightened tensions.
