Trump: striking Iranian targets near Strait of Hormuz

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 13:27:41 -0400

(Updated - September 1, 2026 1:27 PM EDT)

U.S. President Donald Trump in a post on Truth Social on Tuessday:

The United States is, as we speak, striking Iranian Targets near the Strait of Hormuz. 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
