Trump threatens to strike Iran over support for Hezbollah




President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the US would resume attacks on Iran unless Tehran can keep its ally Hezbollah in Lebanon from carrying out attacks. 

"Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!"
