US ‘Locked and loaded’ for ‘higher level’ attacks on Iran, Trump says
The Islamic Republic’s foreign minister threatened on Friday to kill a U.S. soldier for every Iranian killed in the war, as Trump speculated that regime leaders might “cry uncle” or “go into a cave and hide.”
On Friday, President Trump stated the U.S. was “locked and loaded” for “higher level” attacks on Iran, while also indicating a preference for a diplomatic resolution. He presented two options: a military escalation to “knock out everything they have” or a deal, though he believed Iran was not yet ready. This comes as the stalemate over the Strait of Hormuz persists, with Iran continuing attacks on shipping and missile/drone strikes in the region, which have resulted in 18 American deaths. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi threatened, “Iran says it will kill one U.S. service member for every Iranian killed.” Trump noted previous U.S. actions against Iranian leadership and expressed hope for serious negotiations.
