Trump: 'Big wave' in war against Iranian regime still yet to come
Additionally, Trump said that the 2020 strike that killed former IRGC chief Qassem Soleimani “was a big move,” and that “If that didn’t happen, then you might not have Israel today."
The story highlights the ongoing tension and potential for escalation between the US and Iran, a conflict with significant geopolitical implications for regional stability and international relations. Warnings of future 'hardest hits' or a 'big wave' signal a possible intensification of military or diplomatic pressure, which could have far-reaching consequences for the Middle East and global energy markets.
