Trump warns Iran of fresh military strikes; Tehran responds with warning

President Donald Trump warned at a rally in Fort Myers, Florida, that the United States could launch another military operation against Iran if diplomatic efforts fail to produce an agreement. Trump said, "We may do another little Epic Fury." Iran responded with a warning for Washington not to "play with fire" and signaled that renewed military action could invite retaliation. Reports indicate that Iran has threatened to target undersea internet cables in the Gulf if hostilities resume. The United States maintains that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is a key objective. No specific timetable or confirmed decision to launch another strike has been announced.

The exchange between the United States and Iran highlights ongoing diplomatic deadlock and potential risks to regional stability, energy markets, and digital connectivity in the Gulf.
