Trump says US may launch another strike on Iran Wednesday night

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States “probably” will conduct a second wave of airstrikes against Iran on Wednesday night, following the initial attacks launched earlier this week. The statement was made during a press briefing in the White House Situation Room, where the president said the decision was being reviewed by senior military officials and that the timing of any further action would depend on the evolving situation on the ground.

The forthcoming strikes are being positioned as a response to Iran’s alleged involvement in recent attacks on U.S. interests in the region, including the bombing of a U.S. diplomatic convoy in Iraq that killed several American personnel. The Pentagon confirmed that a task force is preparing operational plans, though it declined to specify target locations. Iranian officials have warned of “serious consequences” if the United States proceeds, while allies in the coalition have called for restraint and urged diplomatic channels to de‑escalate tensions. The potential second round of strikes underscores the heightened volatility in U.S.–Iran relations and may shape diplomatic efforts in the coming days.
