Trump and US officials signal possible renewed military strikes on Iran amid ongoing war
President Trump told a Florida rally the US "may do another little Epic Fury" against Iran unless Tehran agrees to a deal. US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said a strike could happen "this weekend," while Trump said he knew nothing about such plans. Iran's armed forces chief said US warships would not be allowed near Iranian waters and threatened retaliation. The war began February 28 and has run about eight months.
