President Trump said the U.S. carried out a heavy strike overnight on Iranian assets near the Strait of Hormuz, declaring "we hit them very hard last night." According to his remarks, American forces "took out all of the new equipment" Iran had been attempting to build along the strategic waterway, a chokepoint for global oil shipping. Trump warned Tehran that Washington is prepared to strike again "any time we want," signaling no let-up in pressure on the regime. The comments suggest an escalation in direct U.S. military action against Iranian infrastructure, though further details on targets, casualties, or official Pentagon confirmation were not immediately available. BreakFirst will continue to track official statements as this develops.
