Trump says US ready for more Iran strikes as Tehran vows to retaliate

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the US military is prepared to carry out further strikes against Iran "any time we want," as Tehran vowed to retaliate and accused Washington of targeting civilian infrastructure.

"It was a very heavy attack last night, and we're prepared to do another one any time we want," Trump told reporters at the White House.

The US military "took out all of the new equipment that they tried to build along the Strait of Hormuz," Trump said.

The US conducted a wave of strikes against Iranian military targets on Tuesday night.

Iran later responded by attacking US bases and assets in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region and the United Arab Emirates.

In a statement on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the US military action, saying the strikes hit multiple non-military areas, including ports, communication facilities and other civilian infrastructure, causing casualties and property damage.

Iranian officials also said the US strikes hit a wedding party in southern Iran, killing at least four people and injuring dozens of others.

The US Central Command said it was looking into the reports and stressed that the US military "never targets civilians." Iranian Foreign Ministry also called on regional countries to prevent the United States from using their territories and airspace for military operations against Iran.

It also urged the United Nations Security Council and the UN secretary-general to fulfill their responsibilities and prevent further escalation.

Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mostafa Izadi said on Wednesday that during the recent conflict, the US side deployed military equipment on a scale more than 10 times larger than Iran's, but all failed to achieve its objectives.

He said the conflict had challenged perceptions of longstanding US military superiority, adding that senior US military officials had recognized the pressure posed by Iran's strategic and military capabilities.

Iran's top security official also vowed that Tehran's new strategy in warfare, diplomacy and economic resistance would soon "shatter" US foundations.

"Iran's new strategy on the battlefield as well as in the fields of diplomacy and countering the economic siege will shatter your (US) foundations," Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei posted on X.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday expressed deep concern over renewed clashes between the United States and Iran and urged both sides to immediately halt military actions and return to diplomacy.
