What happened
President Donald Trump has directed preparations for a new round of U.S. strikes on Iran that could begin as soon as this weekend and last several days, after the White House said Tehran “will continue to pay.” U.S. and Israeli planners are considering attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure, alongside options aimed at degrading missile and nuclear-related capabilities. The renewed campaign is intended to force Iran to accept U.S. terms after a truce reached last month quickly collapsed. Iran said its forces struck two oil tankers under U.S. escort in the Strait of Hormuz.
