US President Donald Trump vowed "very hard" strikes on Iran Thursday and promised to take the country's key oil infrastructure, in what would be a major escalation in the war with the Islamic republic.
Trump threatened "bigger, more powerful" attacks on what would be a third successive night, as he pushes Tehran to turn their increasingly nominal ceasefire into a permanent peace deal.
"The United States will be hitting Iran... VERY HARD TONIGHT," Trump wrote on his Truth Social network.
