US President Donald Trump has threatened more attacks on Iran. Iranian authorities say US strikes hit a wedding and killed four people, including two children. Trump also claimed the US controls the Strait of Hormuz and destroyed an Iranian mine-laying rocket.
AAl JazeeraOriginal★★★★☆2026-09-02 20:04
On Wednesday, Donald Trump forecast an early end to Washington’s renewed campaign against Iran, after the Tehran-Washington exchange of fire reached its highest level since July.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar told FRANCE 24 that renewed fighting between the United States and Iran had resumed. He warned that any Iranian attack on Israel would draw a “severe” response, and accused Tehran of pursuing “nuclear weapons aspirations,” saying Israel “will not allow” Iran to achieve them.
Saudi Arabia says an Iranian attack on the Saudi-owned supertanker Sidr in the Strait of Hormuz killed two Filipino sailors. Iran has not addressed the allegation, saying instead that two tankers caught fire after striking mines while using an unauthorised route.
Iranian Health Minister Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi said US strikes on southern Iran on Tuesday killed at least 18 people and injured 108. Explosions were reported along the southern coast, including Qeshm Island and several cities. Iran later struck US military bases in the UAE, Jordan, Iraq and Bahrain.
The war involving Iran has escalated again, with no end in sight.
President Donald Trump asked when Iranians would “rise up and fight,” while saying Iran’s economy was collapsing and the U.S. held almost total control of the Strait of Hormuz. The White House has not announced a regime-change policy, but officials and analysts say mounting economic pressure and localized protests could leave Iran’s leadership increasingly vulnerable.
US President Donald Trump said he had only mentioned in passing the idea of renaming the Strait of Hormuz in his honor. The White House had earlier posted a map excerpt on X labeling the waterway “Trump Strait.”
