Trump says U.S. will hit Iran hard again today

Guardian, Sky News, and CBS reported Trump saying the United States hit Iran hard and would hit Iran hard again the same day while accusing Tehran of dragging out talks. Sky later reported Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called threats to transportation, electricity, and water infrastructure a sign of desperation and said Iran would stand firm.

Why this matters. The same-day threat and Iranian infrastructure response define the coercion-versus-diplomacy frame facing the Qatar channel in Tehran. The watchpoint is whether U.S. targeting stays tied to military sites or shifts toward infrastructure threats that Tehran treats as a trigger for renewed retaliation.
