Trump Threatens to 'Hit Iran Hard' as US Strikes Resume
· World · France 24, CBS News
President Donald Trump said Monday that the US would hit back hard against Iranian attacks on US targets in the Middle East, according to a Fox News reporter. The strikes resumed after a month-long lull, with the Iranian attacks themselves being a response to earlier US action. Trump did not detail the specific targets or the scale of the planned response. The escalation comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran over Iran's nuclear programme and its support for proxy groups in the region. Further details on the timing, targets, and casualty figures from the renewed strikes were not immediately available.
Why it matters
A direct US-Iran military confrontation in the Middle East could disrupt global oil supplies, raising fuel prices and inflation risks for energy-importing economies like India. The conflict also threatens to pull in regional Gulf states and proxy forces, destabilising a key trade and energy corridor for the world.
