Trump's threat: "It is possible that they will never learn"

After the new attacks between the US and Iran, US President Donald Trump has issued new warnings. On Truth social he writes that Iran has violated the ceasefire and if it continues, Iran will “no longer exist”.

“It is very possible that they will never learn! There may come a point when we can no longer be reasonable and are forced to use military means to complete the job that we very successfully started.”

The attacks erupted on Thursday after a ship in the Strait of Hormuz was allegedly attacked. Since then, the attacks have intensified and during the night, Iran has attacked US targets in Kuwait and Bahrain, among others, according to Reuters.
