US President Donald Trump has threatened to renew military operations against Iran, stating he would show “no hesitation” in using military force to prevent Iranian threats to American allies and shipping vessels. In an interview with Salem News Channel, Trump declared that the United States maintains control over the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

The threat marks an escalation in rhetoric regarding US-Iran tensions and comes as the region remains on high alert over potential Iranian retaliation for previous American military actions. Trump’s comments suggest a willingness to pursue further military confrontation if Iranian actions are perceived as threatening to US interests or regional allies.

The statement reflects ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear programme and regional activities, with Trump indicating that military options remain actively considered by the US administration.
