U.S. Hits Iran Again After Trump Said Tehran Has Been ‘Tapping Us Along’ in Talks

In this Breitbart article, Joshua Klein reports that the U.S. launched another round of strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump accused Tehran of stalling negotiations and “tapping us along.”

• The article says U.S. Central Command announced new “self-defense strikes” beginning at 5:15 p.m. ET Wednesday against multiple Iranian targets.
• CENTCOM framed the strikes as a response to “Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.”
• Trump warned earlier in the day that Iran had delayed too long in responding to Washington’s latest proposal and would now “pay the price.”
• In an Oval Office statement, Trump said the U.S. would “hit them again hard,” accusing Iran of playing America “for suckers” during negotiations.
• War Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed Trump’s message, saying CENTCOM would be “busy” and that Iran could still choose a deal instead of more military pressure.
• Iranian media reportedly described explosions and air defense activity in several areas, including western Tehran, Bandar Abbas, Isfahan, and Qeshm Island.
• U.S. officials told media outlets the operation targeted military infrastructure such as ammunition depots, command-and-control nodes, warehouses, air defense systems, and radar facilities.
• The article also highlights escalating tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran’s military command again declaring the waterway closed to commercial shipping and oil tankers.
• Trump claimed the U.S. had secretly helped more than 200 ships pass through the strait and move more than 100 million barrels of oil into global markets.
• Breitbart frames the strikes as the second consecutive night of U.S. military action against Iran, while the Trump administration continues saying a negotiated deal remains possible.
