Donald Trump threatens new attacks on Iran from Camp David

U.S. President Donald Trump told a cabinet meeting at Camp David that the United States will strike Iran "very hard," referring to a possible escalation within the next four weeks but providing no specific timetable or targets. The U.S. military confirmed no new attacks had taken place the night before the statement.

Iran responded by announcing a plan to increase activity in the Strait of Hormuz, a move described by analysts as heightening the risk of a U.S. bombing campaign. The announcement also sparked market commentary linking the geopolitical tension to potential volatility in global equities and energy prices.
