President Donald Trump is not kowtowing to Iranian warnings, executing new strikes and warning of the biggest attack "waiting in the wings."
"The United States is, as we speak, striking Iranian Targets near the Strait of Hormuz ," Trump wrote Tuesday afternoon on Truth Social. "The strikes are large and powerful, and in retaliation for the Iranians’ failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait, which currently has no mines (They have been completely removed or detonated!), and the Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down, at our Military Base in Jordan.
"If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran!"
Iran has begun launching missiles and drones in response to U.S. strikes, the country’s semiofficial Fars and Tasnim news agencies reported late Tuesday.
Both outlets are considered close to Iran’s security forces, according to The Associated Press.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., on Tuesday morning praised U.S. action against Iran, calling the country’s leadership “nutty as a fruitcake.”
"You can’t take their word for anything. That’s why we took action," Kennedy wrote on X. "We have degraded their country to the point that they are being held together by duct tape and spit."
{{#rendered}}Oil prices jumped about 4% to a one-week high Tuesday as renewed fighting between the U.S. and Iran fueled concerns about Middle East supply disruptions.
Brent crude futures rose $3.44, or 3.8%, to $93.93 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude climbed $3.72, or 4.3%, to $89.48 as of 1:10 p.m. ET, according to Reuters.
Brent was on track for its highest close since Aug. 20, while WTI was headed for its highest close since July 23.
The price surge came after the U.S. launched new airstrikes against Iranian targets Tuesday.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned Tuesday that the United States “will regret its new attacks,” Iranian state news agency Fars reported.
“If they do respond, they’ll be hit much harder,” Trump told Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst.
“This is a very big hit today. If it goes a third time, they’re going to be totally wiped out as a country.”
The threat came as tensions continue to escalate between Washington and Tehran following renewed exchanges of fire and U.S. strikes on Iranian military positions.
Iran has also threatened to respond militarily if the United States intensifies what Iranian officials describe as a siege against the country. Two oil tankers were reportedly struck near the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week, raising concerns about further disruptions to global energy shipments.
The Trump administration has expanded sanctions pressure on Iran and maintained a blockade aimed at restricting Tehran’s military and economic activity.

President Donald Trump warned Iran "would be no longer" if it retaliates against the latest U.S. strikes.
“If they do respond, they’ll be hit much harder,” Trump told Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst.
“This is a very big hit today. If it goes a third time, they’re going to be totally wiped out as a country.”
Trump sounded like he had grown tied of Iran talk and delays.
"I think an agreement with them isn't worth the paper it's written on," Trump said. "We gave them a lot of chances."
Trump claimed U.S. forces destroyed "a lot of radar" in Iran’s network, including systems Tehran attempted to rebuild.
"They tried to rebuild their radar because they can't see anything," Trump continued. "We waited until it was almost built and then we hit it.
"The [USS] George Washington is loaded to the gills," he added. "We're loaded up."
The president said Gulf allies were notified ahead of the latest strikes and described Iran’s leadership as dangerouslt mistaken on his resolve.
"They don't stop: They're crazy and they're stupid," he concluded.

{{#rendered}}Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump may hold trilateral talks at the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, Russia’s Vesti news outlet reported.
The potential meeting comes as the United States and Iran remain locked in a conflict that has disrupted energy markets and raised concerns about the future of regional security partnerships.
Russia and China have backed closer ties with Tehran , while the Trump administration has imposed sweeping sanctions and maintained a blockade aimed at pressuring Iran.
The three leaders could discuss the Iran war, global energy security and the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for international oil shipments.

The U.S. launched new air strikes on Iranian targets Tuesday, following up on President Donald Trump's vow in a call with Fox News that the U.S. Central Command would be "hitting back hard" in retaliation for strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan this weekend.
"Today at 12 p.m. ET, U.S. forces began striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran. The strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region."
Iran has attacked eight commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz since the blockade on ships sailing to or from Iranian ports restarted July 14. Four of these attacks have taken place since last Monday, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization (UKMTO), which tracks reports of attacks in the Middle East.
Tehran remained defiant, warning that it would prevent oil being exported from the Gulf.
Iran's state broadcaster said there had been reports of explosions on Iran's Qeshm Island, on the northern side of the strait. The state-linked news agency Nour News said there had been reports of explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas and in Chabahar, a port on the southern coast.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that its estimate of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile through June 13, 2025, remains unchanged from previous findings, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.
President Donald Trump has long maintained that "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon."
In a separate report, the IAEA said former Syrian authorities failed to declare nuclear material, facilities and activities, including a reactor under construction at Deir al-Zor and a fuel fabrication plant.
The agency confirmed the presence at one Syrian site of roughly 73 tons of natural uranium metal, including about 55 tons in 8,808 fuel rods and 18 tons of uranium scrap and waste.
The IAEA said it was unable to verify the safeguards status of the facilities and associated nuclear material. It said, however, that Syria’s current authorities have shown transparency and cooperation in helping resolve outstanding questions about the country’s past nuclear activities.
The reports were sent to IAEA member states amid heightened scrutiny of Iran’s nuclear program and broader regional security concerns.

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Egypt on Tuesday for his first visit to the Arab world’s most populous country in a decade as nations across the Middle East reassess their security and economic partnerships following the Iran war.
The conflict has disrupted global energy markets and raised questions about whether regional countries can continue to rely on the U.S. as a long-term security partner.
Cairo has spent days preparing for Xi’s visit, with Chinese and Egyptian flags lining major thoroughfares and traffic diversions in place near key sites.
Egyptian state media highlighted the countries’ growing economic and military ties.

U.S. forces have redirected 84 commercial vessels, disabled three and boarded two others "to ensure compliance" with the American blockade against Iran, U.S. Central Command said Tuesday.
CENTCOM shared the update on X alongside a photo of a U.S. Sailor directing the takeoff of a UH-1Y Venom utility helicopter from the flight deck of the USS Boxer in the Arabian Sea.
The amphibious assault ship is operating in support of the blockade as the United States seeks to restrict Iran’s maritime activity and prevent vessels from violating the operation.
The figures were released as tensions continue to rise between Washington and Tehran, with recent exchanges of fire and attacks on commercial tankers near the Strait of Hormuz.
{{#rendered}}Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned that Tehran would respond militarily if the U.S. intensifies its “siege” against Iran.
“If the U.S. siege is intensified, we will definitely respond militarily,” Qalibaf said, according to the Iranian media reports.
"If the enemy wants us not to export oil from the Persian Gulf, no one will be able to export oil," Qalibaf added in defiance.
The warnings come as the Trump administration expands sanctions pressure on Tehran and threatens additional measures targeting Iranian banks and airline leasing companies.
Tensions have also risen around the Strait of Hormuz, where two oil tankers were reportedly struck by unknown projectiles earlier this week. The United States and Iran have exchanged fire, while competing blockades have disrupted energy shipments through the strategic waterway.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration’s economic pressure campaign against Iran is succeeding because it is backed by military strikes and a blockade.
“When everyone says, well, sanctions don’t work: I can tell you sanctions plus the blockade work," Bessent said at a fireside chat at the G20 finance ministers summit in Asheville, North Carolina on Tuesday.
"And now the sanctions are something that we have never engaged at this level of intensity. The Treasury now has five new authorities, and it is across digital assets. It is across aviation, it is across maritime. And we are flexing every day."
Bessent said the economic results would not have been possible without the initial military campaign, which he claimed destroyed Iran’s navy, air force, missile and drone inventories, along with 85% to 90% of the factories capable of rebuilding them.
He said the sanctions are also contributing to a collapse in Iran’s currency, which has fallen from roughly 800,000 rials to the dollar to more than 2 million.
Bessent said the administration’s goal is to economically “asphyxiate” the Iranian regime and force Tehran back to the negotiating table.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration is using five new authorities to intensify its sanctions campaign against Iran across the financial, aviation and maritime sectors.
“We are flexing every day,” Bessent said at the G20 finance ministers summit Tuesday in Asheville, North Carolina, adding that Treasury is targeting digital assets, airline leasing companies and entities doing business with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Bessent said the administration recently used a previously untested Patriot Act authority against a Dubai branch of an Egyptian bank that allegedly funneled more than $1.8 billion to the Iranian regime.
He also warned that Treasury will continue targeting Iranian banks, with new sanctions expected this week and next week.
The administration is tracking IRGC assets worldwide, including accounts held through trust companies and luxury properties, Bessent said.
The campaign is part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to cut off funding for Iran’s nuclear program, missile and drone production and regional proxy network.
{{#rendered}}Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that the Strait of Hormuz could lose its importance as a global energy corridor as the Middle East works pipelines to circumvent it as a "chokepoint."
“In two years, the Strait of Hormuz will be a worthless piece of water,” Bessent told Larry Kudlow at the G20 finance minister summit on Tuesday.
Bessent said "kinetic" strikes, sanctions, and the Strait of Hormuz blockade have been a crippling trifecta on Iran.
"President Donald Trump has said the MOU [memorandum of understanding] did not work because they did not want to make a deal," Bessent continued. "My job is to make them want to make a deal.
"They will want to make a deal."
The comments came as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to threaten commercial shipping through the strategic waterway, which typically carries roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supplies.
Two supertankers carrying Saudi crude were reportedly struck by unknown projectiles near the strait earlier this week. The incidents helped drive oil prices higher and fueled concerns that prolonged conflict could force energy producers and shippers to rely on alternate routes.
The Trump administration is also working with U.S. refiners and distributors to expand domestic refining capacity and offset potential disruptions by increasing crude flows from Venezuela.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday that the United States has held private discussions with China regarding Iran.
"We have more in common with the Chinese on Iran than we disagree with on," Bessent told Larry Kudlow during a chat at the G20 finance ministers summit in Ashville, North Carolina, on Tuesday.
"The Chinese agree: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. The Chinese agree that there should be free the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. So we have had private discussions with them in terms of achieving those goals."
The comments came as the Trump administration prepares additional sanctions targeting Iran, including measures against banks and potentially airline leasing companies.
The administration has warned that countries and companies doing business with Iran could face secondary sanctions as Washington seeks to increase economic pressure on Tehran amid the ongoing conflict.
Reuters contributed to this report.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration is likely to announce new sanctions against Iran’s banking sector this week and next week.
Bessent also said the administration will examine airline leasing companies as part of its effort to increase economic pressure on Tehran.
"We are probably going to announce a bank sanction this week, and we will announce one the week after," Bessent said. "We are speaking to our allies here, who have all come forward, and we have had a great show of support."
The comments come as the White House pursues a maximum-pressure campaign against Iran amid escalating hostilities and renewed concerns over the country’s nuclear and military capabilities.
Bessent previously warned that countries and companies doing business with Iran could face secondary sanctions. The administration has said the measures are intended to cut off funding for Iran’s military and its support for regional proxies.

{{#rendered}}The Trump administration’s “Economic D-Day ” sanctions are among the most important tools available to force Iran to stop attacking the United States and its allies, according to Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla.
Mast, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said countries including China, Russia, Pakistan and Iran’s regional neighbors should face pressure to stop doing business with Tehran.
“You can’t do business with this entity that you’re saying is shooting ballistic missiles and drones at your refineries, at your ships, at your apartment buildings, everything else throughout the region,” Mast told reporters.
Sanctions should also prevent countries from supplying Iran with parts used to build drones and other weapons, Mast added, arguing that nations supporting freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must also help defend the waterway.
“Iran, I don’t think ever once has given me a reason to ever trust them,” Mast said, urging the maximum pressure campaign so that Tehran would ultimately be “forced to heel” from “an endless war.”
President Donald Trump's meeting Tuesday with refiners and distributors will expand U.S. refining capacity and lowering gasoline prices as the Iran war fuels concerns about global energy supplies.
“President Trump is laser-focused on ensuring his successful energy dominance agenda translates into the most cost savings possible at the pump for consumers," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told FOX Business in a statement.
"As part of that commitment, the President will meet with industry leaders to collaborate on the best ways to increase refining capacity, further unleash American energy dominance across the entire supply chain, and bring down prices for the American people.”
U.S. oil company North American Blue Energy Partners will reportedly take over some Venezuela oilfields previously controlled by several Chinese companies and a Russian firm, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Monday.
The projects were among 14 contracts newly granted to U.S.-backed NABEP, which was previously owned by U.S. oil tycoon Harry Sargeant and is now controlled by Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt.
FOX Business White House correspondent Edward Lawrence contributed to this report.
"Venezuela is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, hardworking people and untapped potential,” Betancourt said in a statement, confirming the deal. “This transaction will unleash that potential to the great benefit of both Venezuelans and Americans."

Israeli strikes killed at least four in Gaza on Tuesday as Israeli forces captured a senior Hamas terrorist.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the arrested man heads Hamas’ internal security service. Hamas officials said an Israeli special force was detected during an operation in Gaza City, prompting heavy airstrikes to cover its withdrawal.
Witnesses reported at least 12 missiles striking near the Katiba area, where terrorists hide among women and children, using them as human shields.
The Israeli military said it struck several targets to remove threats to its forces. Katz said Israel’s policy is to pursue Hamas terrorists and destroy the group’s infrastructure, rather than wait for attacks.
A U.S.-backed ceasefire that took effect in October 2025 halted large-scale fighting but has not stopped Israeli strikes on terrorist threats in Gaza.

Iran’s central bank governor fired back Tuesday at Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ’s warning that countries doing business with Tehran could face U.S. sanctions.
Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati said Iran has enough foreign currency reserves to withstand the pressure and that the bank is prepared to inject up to $2 billion into the foreign exchange market to calm recent volatility.
“I am telling the president of the United States: Iran has foreign currency and it has enough,” Hemmati said, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Bessent has warned that the Trump administration could impose secondary sanctions weekly as part of its maximum-pressure campaign against Iran, initially targeting banks that continue to do business with Tehran.
Hemmati’s comments appeared aimed at reassuring markets after Iranian officials, including Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, acknowledged growing difficulties in the country’s economy amid the conflict and renewed U.S. pressure.
Iran’s currency plunged to a record low in August, crossing the psychological threshold of 2 million rials to the dollar, while annual inflation reached 66% in July.

{{#rendered}}Oil prices rose Tuesday as President Donald Trump threatened further strikes against Iran and two tankers were reportedly hit near the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump is scheduled to meet Tuesday with oil producers as his administration works to increase output from the United States and Venezuela and offset potential losses tied to the conflict.
Oil prices rose by around 2% on Tuesday.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up $2.12, or 2.47%, to $87.88, while Brent crude futures (Mideast supply) were up $1.72, or 1.9%, to $92.21 a barrel.
"The tit-for-tat missile exchanges between the US and Iran bring validation to those who believe that even if not a ‘forever war,’ this conflict will run and run," PVM analyst John Evans said.
The incidents came after the first direct exchanges of fire between the U.S. and Iran since late July, heightening concerns about disruptions to the global oil supply.
"Fresh hostilities between the U.S. and Iran raised concerns about prolonged disruptions to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz," Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen said, adding a lack of follow-through buying suggests the market is betting on supply not being disrupted more than it is already.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical energy chokepoint through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply typically passes.
"The hopes that had emerged last week for an upcoming reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to shipping have been dealt a severe blow. The question is also whether, in the event of a renewed escalation, unofficial vessel traffic through the strait can continue unhindered," Commerzbank analysts wrote.
Reuters contributed to this report.
Two supertankers carrying Saudi crude were struck by unknown projectiles within minutes of each other late Monday while traveling outbound through the Strait of Hormuz , according to maritime tracking firms Marisks and Kpler and British officials.
"The near-simultaneous incidents represent a further escalation in the threat environment within the Omani corridor," Marisks said.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center said one tanker was hit by three projectiles east of Oman. It separately reported an incident involving another tanker and military forces in waters near the strait.
No casualties or environmental damage were reported.
One vessel was reportedly stopped and remained adrift, according to Ambrey, a maritime risk company.
The tankers each loaded roughly 2 million barrels of Saudi crude at the Juaymah terminal last week, according to Kpler data. No group immediately claimed responsibility.
The incidents mark a further escalation in the threat environment surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that carried about one-fifth of global oil supplies before U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran more than six months ago.
Iran and the United States have imposed competing blockades around the strait , sharply curbing energy exports from the Gulf. Mediation efforts led by Qatar and Oman to reopen the waterway have so far failed to produce an agreement.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday that Tehran would immediately return to the terms of a June memorandum of understanding if the United States does the same.
“I am stating clearly that if the U.S. returns to its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding, the Islamic Republic of Iran will immediately reciprocate,” Pezeshkian said, according to Iranian state media.
The agreement called for an immediate ceasefire and 60 days of negotiations toward a broader peace deal.
Iran agreed to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz and allow ships to pass, while the U.S. committed to ending its naval blockade, lifting sanctions and issuing waivers for Iranian oil exports.
The deal quickly unraveled, and the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire over the weekend.
The U.S. struck Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island, while Iran launched missiles at American military facilities in Jordan. The missiles were intercepted.
Pezeshkian has continued to advocate for negotiations, but Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is reportedly seeking additional concessions, including control of the Strait of Hormuz and financial compensation for the war — demands that would likely be unacceptable to Washington.
President Donald Trump said there would be a response to Iran’s attacks but indicated the strikes did not mark a return to full-scale war.
