President Trump has signaled that the United States will strike Iran for the second consecutive day.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President: We'll see what happens. We hit them hard yesterday. We will hit them hard again today.]

This indicates a continuation of retaliatory strikes following the downing of a U.S. Army helicopter.

Trump warned that the U.S. could also target Iranian infrastructure, such as power plants or bridges.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President: (Do you have plans to strike Iranian power plants or bridges?) I can't tell you that, but it is possible. We can neutralize those facilities. We have the most powerful military.]

However, he added that he would wait to see the outcome of negotiations, pressuring Iran to sign an agreement.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President: The negotiations are completely over. But they keep stalling. So I said, 'Let's give them a few more days.']

The U.S. military announced that it commenced additional strikes against multiple targets in Iran at 6:15 a.m. today, Korea Standard Time.

Iranian President Pezeshkian emphasized that targeting infrastructure is merely a sign of desperation, and vowed to stand firm against pressure and threats.

The Iranian military has warned that it will retaliate against President Trump.

The World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, is set to open tomorrow.

As of now, the possibility of an agreement between the U.S. and Iran before the start of the World Cup appears low.
