The US military on Wednesday began bombing Iran after President Trump declared the ceasefire is over.

President Trump told reporters on Wednesday, while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, that the US is going to strike Iran again tonight after a wave of strikes on Tuesday.

“We’re going to hit them hard tonight,” Trump said, later adding, “They deserve it.”

President Trump posted video of the strikes against Iran.

“At the direction of the Commander in Chief, U.S. Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway.”

“This is in retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse!” Trump said.

This comes after the US launched attacks in Iran in response to Iran targeting several ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday.

Earlier Tuesday, Tehran struck three ships, including a Qatari natural gas vessel.

CENTCOM said the US military hit more than 80 targets in the latest strikes.

President Trump earlier Tuesday revoked the Iran oil sanctions waiver after the Strait of Hormuz attacks.
