According to a report by CBS News on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, President Donald Trump has intensified pressure on Iran, warning that the United States is prepared to carry out further military action as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to rise.
Speaking to reporters, Trump was asked about a message he posted on Truth Social in which he accused Iran of delaying negotiations and warned that the country would face consequences for taking what he described as too long to reach an agreement.
Responding to the question, Trump signaled that additional military operations could follow recent developments in the region.
“We are going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard,” Trump said. He continued by stating, “We’re going to hit him again hard today in case you miss it, in case you don’t turn on your television set.”
The remarks came after the president earlier published a statement on Truth Social, where he expressed frustration over the pace of diplomatic discussions with Tehran. In the post, Trump said Iran would “have to pay the price” for delaying negotiations.
His comments followed reports from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) indicating that American forces had conducted strikes against Iranian targets after an Apache helicopter was reportedly brought down during recent hostilities.
The latest exchange of threats and military activity has added to concerns about a further escalation in the long-running dispute between the two countries.
At the same time, diplomatic efforts remain underway. A delegation from Qatar arrived in Tehran on Wednesday as part of an initiative aimed at advancing negotiations and securing a possible agreement.
The visit followed consultations between Qatari officials and the United States, with mediators seeking to narrow differences and encourage progress in ongoing discussions.
