Trump Threatens to Smash Iran Again if Hezbollah Runs Wild

President Trump unleashed a fiery threat, declaring he would “hit Iran very hard again” if Tehran doesn’t rein in Hezbollah’s chaos in the region.

“Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!” Trump blasted on Truth Social.

Despite a cease-fire that kicked in Friday, Israel and Hezbollah remain locked in combat. This ongoing conflict jeopardizes the fragile preliminary peace deal between the US and Iran.

On Saturday, Iran boasted about shutting down the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for Israeli strikes against Hezbollah. However, US officials countered that vessels continued to navigate this critical oil chokepoint.

“You close it, and you won’t have a country,” Trump warned Fox News’ chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst. “You won’t even make it back to your f—ing country.”

The president threatened to seize control of the Strait of Hormuz if Iran fails to comply, suggesting he might impose tolls if America has to act as a “guardian angel” for oil vessels traversing the waterway.

Trump also lashed out at Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian for his defiant statement about enriching uranium, asserting that the US would “be forced to accept it.”

The memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran signed last week explicitly states that fighting must cease “on all fronts, including in Lebanon.” However, achieving this has proven challenging.

Critics in the US allege that Iran is either enabling or encouraging Hezbollah to attack Israel to sabotage the preliminary deal. Others speculate that Israel may be trying to undermine the MOU due to disagreements with its terms.

The ongoing fighting between Israel and Lebanon delayed the first round of peace talks under the MOU in Switzerland, which are now set to occur on Sunday and could extend through Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.

Key technical and substantive issues remain unresolved between the US and Iran, particularly regarding how Iran will manage its stockpile of enriched uranium.

The MOU grants both nations 60 days to negotiate a more comprehensive peace deal.
