US Signals Short Campaign Against Iran

US President Donald Trump said the renewed US military campaign against Iran would not continue for “too long” after the biggest exchange of fire between Washington and Tehran since July.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump described Iran as having tried to build a rocket designed to drop mines, which US forces had destroyed. He added that Tehran had also been working to restore its radar and missile systems, which were targeted in US strikes.

“We took out all of the new equipment that they tried to build along the Strait of Hormuz - some defensive, some offensive ... It was a very heavy attack last night, and we're prepared to do another one any time we want”, Trump told the media.
