Trump vows to hit Iran hard as ceasefire collapses again
US strikes on about 90 Iranian targets and Trump’s warning to hit Iran hard again signaled the ceasefire had collapsed back into a new phase of fighting.
The United States hit roughly 90 Iranian military targets in its latest wave of strikes, and Donald Trump warned that Washington would hit Iran hard again. The latest barrage followed an earlier round of about 80 targets. Air defence systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline were among the sites hit.
Iran answered with retaliatory attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, while the UN warned ships to avoid the Strait of Hormuz after the latest strikes. The confrontation had begun on 28 February with US-Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
At the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump sharpened the rhetoric further, calling Iranian leaders “scum” and saying the United States would hit Iran “hard again” if needed. He also said he did not think a full-fledged conflict would erupt again.
Nigel Farage had resigned as MP for Clacton amid a sleaze investigation into donations, including £5m from Christopher Harborne, and was proposing a by-election for 6 August 2026. Count Binface, who came seventh in the Makerfield by-election with 95 votes and 0.2% of the vote, said he would be happy with one vote in Clacton and promised to price-cap Wigan kebabs at £2. Kemi Badenoch said he may look like “the people” against Farage as “the establishment”.
