US Bombing Iran for 2nd Straight Day after Trump Declares Cease-Fire with ‘Sick’ Regime ‘Over’
President Trump ordered another round of airstrikes against Iran on Wednesday, a day after more than 80 targets were hit by US forces in response to the regime’s attacks on cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
