US President Donald Trump warned Iran of intensified bombing if it backs out of agreed terms, even as Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared “Operation Epic Fury” concluded. While the offensive phase has ended, the US says ongoing military activity in the Strait of Hormuz is defensive, keeping tensions high despite a temporary pause.
US President Donald Trump on Monday issued a fresh warning to Iran, saying military action could escalate sharply if Tehran fails to honour its commitments.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that if Iran follows through on what has been agreed upon, the “legendary Epic Fury” would come to an end and the ongoing blockade would allow the Strait of Hormuz to remain open to all, including Iran. However, he warned that failure to comply would trigger renewed bombing “at a much higher level and intensity than before.”
The remarks came hours after Marco Rubio announced the conclusion of “Operation Epic Fury,” described as the initial US-Israeli offensive against Iran. Rubio said the operation had achieved its objectives and that the offensive phase of the conflict was now over.
“Operation Epic Fury is concluded. We achieved the objectives of that operation,” Rubio said, adding that current US military actions in the Strait of Hormuz are “defensive” in nature.
