Trump escalates rhetoric against Iran with warlike posts on Truth Social

Former President Trump published three new posts on Truth Social threatening to 'break' Iran, 'occupy' Hormuz, and set ships on fire, marking a sharp escalation in his public rhetoric toward Tehran. The posts are rhetorical and not backed by any official policy action, but they signal potential policy direction if Trump returns to office. The claims are unverified and should be treated as political messaging rather than operational intent.
