Context
Sept 1 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the latest U.S. attack on Iran was "justified," and threatened bigger strikes if Tehran retaliated. Trump, in a Truth Social post, said the U.S. military was striking Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday in retaliation for Iran's "failed attempt at adding sea mines" to the Strait and for shooting eight missiles at a U.S. military base in Jordan.
