Trump threatens Iran with more strikes but says recent fighting does not mean a return to war

President Donald Trump threatened to unleash more military strikes against Iran after saying that Iranian attacks signaled the end of the ceasefire. But later on Wednesday he said the most recent exchange of fire with the Islamic Republic did not herald a return to full-scale war. Trump is known for sending mixed messages about his intentions. He has repeatedly threatened to escalate strikes against Iran, only to pull back after claiming diplomatic progress. Trump also renewed his past threats to hit Iran’s civilian infrastructure, including electric plants and desalinization plants, and to seize the oil-production hub of Kharg Island.
