Trump Says U.S. Will Hit Iran ‘Very Hard Tonight’

On Thursday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran "VERY HARD TONIGHT," threatening in a social media post to "assume total control" of Iran’s oil and gas industries, including the key Kharg Island, in the "not too distant future."

The U.S and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war. It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have rattled the Middle East.

When asked about the new report that the consumer price index (CPI) in May had jumped 4.2 percent over the last year, Trump showed how he had learned to stop worrying about inflation and simply, in his own words, "love" it. Trump didn't dismiss the affordability issue as a "hoax" that was started by Democrats, as he has done previously. Nor did he claim that he was bringing down the cost of living.
