Trump threatens Iran with '1000 missiles' as both sides shoot their mouth in Gulf spat

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have dramatically intensified as President Trump warned Iran of a massive missile strike if Iran pursues assassination plots. This verbal sparring is rooted in disagreements over a maritime deal's interpretation, which has led to renewed military exchanges. Iran has responded by vowing revenge for what it sees as past U.S. actions and treaty violations. With mistrust and ambiguity at an all-time high, the situation threatens to destabilize a fragile understanding between the two nations.
