Trump Threatens Harder Strikes If Iran Hits Global Oil Supply, Pledges US 'Excursion' Nearly

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Update(1550ET): A more carefully scripted public address on the Iran war was given by President Trump from Florida late afternoon, in which he reviewed how the 'excursion' in Iran is going. 

He pledged it's going to be ended soon, but warned "Iran will be hit harder" if it starts up again, or if Tehran targets global global oil supplies.

But on this issue, Trump issued nothing new on a potential move to militarily enter the Strait of Hormuz to ensure free passage, only assuring it will be made "safe". He said military objectives are "pretty well complete" but that there are still some very important targets to be hit. Also interesting is that when asked by a reporter, Trump refused to say if new Ayatollah has a target on his back.

US CENTCOM has meanwhile said that thus far in Operation Epic Fury over 5,000 Iranian targets have been hit, and 50 Iranian naval ships have been destroyed or damaged.
