President Trump Signals Heavy Strikes on Iran as Hamas Agrees to Gaza Disarmament Plan
The administration announced plans to launch a series of heavy strikes against Iran as soon as this weekend, aiming to target energy infrastructure and missile sites. President Trump expressed frustration with Iran's perceived dishonesty during negotiations, stating he will hit the country "very hard" until it changes its tune. While the administration remains cautious about striking major energy targets to avoid shocking global markets, the U.S. military has prepared options for a 2-week bombardment of Iranian missile sites and nuclear infrastructure. Simultaneously, the administration announced a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Hamas has agreed to a specific plan to relinquish its weapons, provided that Israel upholds its end of the ceasefire agreement. This deal, overseen by the Board of Peace, marks a significant step toward a lasting peace settlement. Despite the ongoing conflict, President Trump praised the U.S. performance in the war, noting that the U.S. has obliterated Iran's military capacity in just five months, a much shorter duration than previous major wars like Vietnam or Afghanistan.
