President Donald Trump warned Saturday that the United States could take further military action against Iran after American forces struck Iranian targets in response to what officials described as repeated violations of a ceasefire agreement.
U.S. Central Command released footage of the latest U.S. strikes, saying Navy and Air Force fighter jets hit 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz.
“U.S. Navy and Air Force fighter jets conducted strikes tonight on 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz for Iran’s drone attack on M/T Kiku,” CENTCOM said.
Trump said U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after Iran again violated the 60-day memorandum of understanding and ceasefire.
“It is very possible that they will never learn!” Trump said.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said the United States could eventually move beyond limited strikes if Iran continues its actions.
“United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN! It is very possible that they will never learn! There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist! President DJT,” Trump wrote.
The latest strikes followed earlier U.S. military action Friday after Trump accused Iran of committing a “foolish violation of our ceasefire agreement” by launching drones at a ship moving through the Strait of Hormuz.
CENTCOM said Saturday that the additional U.S. strikes came after another attack on a commercial vessel, the M/T Kiku.
“After yesterday’s U.S. strikes in response to the Iranian attack on M/V Ever Lovely, Iran was given a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement but elected not to when its forces launched a one-way attack drone that hit M/T Kiku this morning at 4:30 a.m. ET,” CENTCOM said.
The command said U.S. aircraft targeted Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communications systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities and minelayer capabilities.
The escalation comes as the Strait of Hormuz remains a central flashpoint in the fragile ceasefire. U.S. officials have accused Iran of attacking commercial shipping despite the agreement, while American forces have carried out retaliatory strikes on Iranian military infrastructure tied to drones, missiles, surveillance and coastal operations.
Earlier, Iran also launched a drone attack against Bahrain, according to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, whose report circulated in an X post.
Bahrain condemned the drone attack, calling it “a blatant violation of its sovereignty, a flagrant threat to the security of citizens and residents, and a blatant breach of international norms.”
The U.S. strikes mark another escalation after the ceasefire framework began to falter over attacks on commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM said the latest operation targeted Iranian capabilities tied to surveillance, communications, air defense, drones and mine-laying, while Trump warned that continued violations could lead to a far broader U.S. military response.
