Trump Threatens to 'Hit Iran Very Hard Again' Over Lebanon Proxies During Peace Talks
President Trump posted on Truth Social threatening to strike Iran 'very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder' if Tehran did not immediately stop its 'highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon' from causing trouble. The threat, referring to Hezbollah, came while Vice President JD Vance was attending peace talks with Iranian officials in Switzerland. Iranian negotiators walked out in protest at Trump's social media threats, which also included warnings about bombing Iran and kidnapping the negotiating team unless the Strait of Hormuz was reopened. The incident undermined diplomatic efforts and escalated tensions during active peace negotiations.
