"I just don't know if they're worthy of making a deal," Trump told reporters on Air Force One after the NATO summit in Turkey. "I don't know that they're going to honor the deal; that's the problem."

A US official told The Jerusalem Post that “Everything depends on Iran’s response. If they continue firing, what happened last night could become a daily or even weekly occurrence. We are prepared.”

After Iran's overnight strikes in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, Gulf states are beginning to realize Iran may not step back from its demands to control the Strait of Hormuz.

"When you have a ceasefire and Iran is basically violating the ceasefire, I think it is totally crucial that the US forcefully react," said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

A US official told Reuters that the strikes targeted Iranian air defense systems, coastal surveillance, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship cruise missiles, and drone launch sites.

The US military said no foul play is suspected in the incident, which also injured three additional sailors.

One option is to establish a new base in the Negev big enough to hold the American army’s forces, or to expand one of the Negev’s air force bases and allocate an American compound there.

The return of the American coordinator signals progress in attempts to deploy the Lebanese Army and expel Hezbollah from some areas in southern Lebanon.

Three others were wounded in the incident, though CENTCOM said that the helicopter was not forced to make an emergency landing in the Arabian Sea.

Iran’s nuclear program is badly damaged and largely dormant, but more than 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium remain a major unresolved threat.
