Trump signals possible new strikes on Iran, saying US knocked 'hell out' of the country

US President Donald Trump has signalled that the United States could carry out further military action against Iran, saying American strikes have knocked the "hell out" of the country.

Trump made the remarks to reporters at the White House, where he indicated that new strikes could follow the US campaign against Tehran.

Iran, meanwhile, says seven oil tankers sustained damage in the Strait of Hormuz in a single day — the highest daily toll since the US-Israel war with Tehran began.

US Central Command said its "steel wall" naval blockade against Iran has reached 100 days, as the confrontation at sea intensifies.

The wider conflict continues to exact a civilian toll. Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed four Palestinians, including a child, in the past 24 hours, as rights groups warn of a potential famine caused by severe supply restrictions. In Yemen's Taiz, Houthi forces have blocked a key supply route, and the United Nations warns that aid delivery has halted for about 800,000 residents.

In Saudi Arabia, the Civil Defence said the danger had passed in Riyadh after an emergency warning was issued, urging residents to continue following safety instructions. The alert came amid heightened regional tension as the threat of further US action grows.
