US President Donald Trump pledged fresh strikes on Iran after accusing the country of dragging out talks on an interim peace deal, putting further strain on a fragile two-month truce. 

The US renewed its attacks overnight on the Islamic Republic and Trump’s latest comments opened the door to Washington’s most sustained military offensive since the two sides agreed to a ceasefire in April. 

“We’re going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard,” Trump told reporters at the White House Wednesday. “We hit them hard yesterday, and we’re going to hit them hard again today.”
