"I don't think it's going to start again. I think it's going to go away very quickly. They hit some ships, and then we hit them a lot harder. Whatever happens is going to be over very quickly... and it's only going to make things safer, including for oil," he said. Threat of major attack Hours earlier, Trump announced that he would launch a "major attack" against Iran on Wednesday night (8). "I'm going to give you a little warning: we're going to hit them hard tonight," he told reporters, adding: "If necessary, we will cut off the electricity system and the water treatment plants, but we don't want that," he declared. According to the US president, due to the resumption of exchanges of attacks, the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz may be resumed. Trump also said that NATO countries had agreed to send minehunting vessels to help clear the route.

In response, Iran said the US strikes were a "clear violation" of the peace agreement and launched retaliatory strikes against US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait in the early hours of Wednesday. Both affected Arab countries are home to Washington's military bases: Bahrain is home to the US Navy's 5th Fleet, while Kuwait serves as headquarters for US Army forces in the region. The two governments issued missile warnings to the population early in the morning.
