US President Donald Trump in a new warning to Iran said that the "bombing" will be resumed if peace talks collapse.
According to CNN, Trump on Wednesday, May 6, threatened that if they do not come to an agreement, the “bombing starts” and it will “higher level and intensity than it was before.”
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran. If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.”
The president did leave open the door to an agreement, which he said would end the US military operation against the country but added it is possibly a “big assumption” the two sides can come to an agreement.
This came after Trump announced the US would pause its operation, Project Freedom, to guide stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporterson Tuesday, that Operation Epic Fury was already over.
Rubio said during a press briefing, “The operation is over. Epic Fury, as the president notified Congress, we’re done with that stage of it."
