The U.S has conducted strikes in Iran for more than two weeks. President Donald Trump has threatened the leaders of the country with more destruction, but now, an attack in the U.S from Iran could be made a reality. The FBI has sent out a warning to police in California over a possible ‘surprise attack’ from Iran.
The war in Iran continues. President Donald Trump’s administration has continued to strike against targets in Iran, and on Thursday, the conflict had a new development. Reports from both CNN and CBS claimed Iran had begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a shipping lane through which 20% of the world’s oil passes.
Donald Trump was quick to respond, threatening the Middle Eastern country with “military consequences at a level never seen before” if they failed to immediately remove any mines deployed.
‘The president added that any vessels attempting to place mines in the strait would “be dealt with quickly and violently.” Not long after the warning, on Wednesday, the Pentagon confirmed that the U.S. has sunk 16 mine-laying ships near the Strait of Hormuz.
The President also shared the news, writing on Truth Social that “within the last few hours, we have hit, and completely destroyed, 10 inactive mine laying boats and/or ships, with more to follow!”
Throughout the conflict, Iran’s leadership has threatened Donald Trump as well. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has claimed the U.S. successfully killed an assassination squad that was to kill the president, and earlier this week, another assassination threat was made from Iran.
