JUST IN: “The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!” – Trump Says Iran “Took Too Long” to Negotiate Deal and Will “Pay the Price”, Threatens to Target Power Plants and Bridges

  President Trump on Wednesday appeared to announce the end of the US-Iran ceasefire, declaring that Iran has “taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them.” “Now they will have to pay the price!!!” Trump said. Fox’s Trey Yingst reports that Trump said he “may keep going” with strikes, even targeting Iran’s infrastructure. “Following the US strikes against Iran overnight and the Iranian missile attacks against US forces in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, the President tells Fox News that he may keep going and that he is getting closer to the targeting of Iranian power plants and bridges,” Yingst reported. “He told Fox that the Iranians are tapping the US along as it relates toward reaching a negotiated settlement to formally end this conflict.” Yingst also reports new details on the Iranian drone attack that hit a US helicopter, prompting the renewed fighting. WATCH: This comes after Trump promised a response to Iran shooting down the US Army Apache helicopter on Monday. “The United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack,” Trump said.

The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression,” CENTCOM said. US Central Command said in another statement on Tuesday night that US forces carried out strikes on "Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets." U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed self-defense strikes against Iran, June 9, at the Commander in Chief’s direction in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter. CENTCOM forces struck Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets. The operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters. U.S. forces remain vigilant and postured to defend against unjustified Iranian aggression. Per Axios's Barak Ravid, Iran retaliated by firing four ballistic missiles and several drones at US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. U.S. official: At least 4 ballistic missiles and several more drones fired by Iran at U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — Barak Ravid (@BarakRavid) June 10, 2026 Trump said on Wednesday morning that Iran has been "completely defeated," adding, "They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!" Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore - They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!! They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP Trump further blasted the leftwing media, declaring his blockade in the Strait of Hormuz as "the most successful Blockade in the history of Naval Warfare." "Iran is doing ZERO business, not paying their military, or any of their bills, and quickly becoming a FAILED NATION! Lots of oil is getting out. Praise be to Allah!" Trump said. The Fake News Media refuses to report how EFFECTIVE the U.S. Naval BLOCKADE is, the most successful Blockade in the history of Naval Warfare. NOTHING GETS THROUGH unless we want it to. IT IS A STEEL WALL! Iran is doing ZERO business, not paying their military, or any of their bills, and quickly becoming a FAILED NATION! Lots of oil is getting out. Praise be to Allah!
