Donald Trump, as usual, contradictory in his responses to reporters' questions at the White House on Wednesday, June 10. The topic remains the war in Iran. “The agreement with Tehran is fully negotiated, the Iranians just need to start signing it.”, but they are delaying it because “they know it is significant,” the US president said in his usual daily briefing with the press, underlining that his agreement “completely prohibits having nuclear weapons” while the one reached by Barack Obama opened “the path to nuclear weapons”.
So on the one hand, according to Trump, the truce could be a matter of hours or days. On the other hand, the tycoon himself launched new attacks against Iran overnight. "Yesterday we hit them hard, today we're going to hit them hard again, in case you missed it, in case you didn't turn on the TV," the US president declared on Wednesday, June 10. "We're going to hit them hard," Trump reiterated, responding to reporters in the Oval Office. Donald Trump then emphasized that the United States "has the right" to respond militarily to Tehran after the downing of an American Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz, he then added: “Iran thought we were idiots, I gave them more time for an agreement but they continue to dither.”
Meanwhile, Iranian Armed Forces spokesman Abolfazl Shekarchi warned that Iran has demonstrated its ability to respond decisively to US threats, after Trump claimed he was on the verge of ordering new attacks on Iranian power plants and bridges. In statements reported by Iran's semi-official Fars news agency, Shekarchi warned that Tehran has responded to all of Trump's threats and this time too, "he will not back down." And last night he also announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
